<prompt> Human: I recently got offered another role within my company. My current role has me covering the role above me a lot as work conditions arent the best so the manager never really lasts long before giving up. The new role has much better work environments and customer dealings. In these periods I cover my managers role but am constantly knocked back when I apply with a quoted due to lack of experience then am requested to train the new manager.Anyway the new role is a step up in level but a step down in responsibility if that make sense and a slight 100m salary decrease.The old role are trying to get an offer together for me to look over but I am not sure I really want to even consider it with how bad the situation is there.My question is have any of you taken a salary hit for peace of mind? How did it work out and do you regret it?  <response>: It all depends on what your current and new salaries are and how much better it will be. Unless youre scraping by 1200year isnt much to pay for less stress. I took a 65-70 pay cut and I dont regret it at all--we make enough to be comfortable and instead of constant stress at work I have no stress and you cant put a price on that.
