[quote=Anonymous]OP, I really, really, really wanted to make a shift in my field—think teapot operations to teapot theory—and took a 50% cut to move to a job that was in teapot theory, with some of the top teapot theorists. It was only guaranteed to be funded for 2 years. But guess what? One year later, and I’ve been hand-picked to lead a teapot theory initiative at a major teapot thinktank, with even more money and flexibility. Think 100k to 50k to 110k. Downsides, we went into debt and had some minor money stress. But upsides, I was happier than I had been in a long time, had flexibility to spend more time with my kid, and met some amazing people that helped grow my career in the direction I’d always wanted to go. YMMV.[/quote]
