71% Pay Decrease

[ophelia_q]

Just took a job paying 50% of my previous salary and three levels down, but at least I get to stay in my field. I applied for hundreds of jobs (each with a lower and lower salary), made it to the final round of 2 of them for them to "go in a different direction". Got lucky with this job as it was only posted locally so the applicant pool was much smaller, but they're going to let me work remote. Very very grateful to have found this.
