<prompt> Human: I work in IT, with about 3 years of various Help Desk, User Security Admin, IT Analyst experience. I am currently making 63k with an annual 10 bonus so roughly 70k.Ive been at this job for 6 months, and the pay was a huge pay raise from my previous job, where I made 48k. To be honest, I feel as if I am a bit overpaid, but Im not complaining about the money.I truly hate my job. I work for a company that just relocated to my city Nashville, and my department has zero work. I work about one hour each day, and spend the other 7 hours browsing reddit. Some days it is okay, but I am bored out of my mind and I am going crazy. Even when I do have work, its mainly just emailing people in Europe or India trying to find managers who can help with various IT issues. Not at all what I want to be doing. I feel like I am wasting away, contributing nothing, gaining no new skills, and never being challenged.I have the opportunity for another IT Analyst job with a relatively young 4 years old start up, which was just valued in the billions, so they arent going anywhere. The pay for this new job would be around 55k. Benefits are roughly equal, maybe a touch worse at the new jobYes, it will take some getting used to the smaller pay check, but the work at this new company I have a good friend on the team Id be joining seems absolutely amazing, exactly what I enjoy doing. No phone calls, walking around the floor helping people with various IT issues. Lots of movement, very busy, but also very rewarding personally.Is it worth it to take a nearly 15k pay cut at this young stage of my career? I just dont want to take a step too far backwards.  <response>: I wouldnt leave for that much of a pay cut. Youve only been there 6 months. Give it another 6 months and reassess.
