<prompt> Human: I currently work at a startup as partnershipssales and up until this point I reported directly to the CEO. Due to recent reorgsthe company splitting in half to work on a new unrelated project Ive been shuffled around and ultimately ended up reporting to a manager who knows nothing about the industry we work in. My core kpi is content acquisition but am reporting to marketing. My day to day is now thinking up marketing campaigns, setting the requirements for paid promotions, and finding the peopleworking out a deal. Due to her not understanding the industry at all I am constantly explaining stuff to my manager, answering her questions, and explaining what we want to the other people on the team when they ask questions to her assignments. Ive had issues with this person in the past for taking credit of my work. Theyre now asking me daily to come up with new marketing ideas, asking what our team needs so she can ask management, and when as a team we decide new projects just assigns them to everyone with taking no work herself. As a note I do not know anything about marketing but she doesnt know our key customers or partners who would help in marketing so now its falling on me to decide what would be effective marketing? Everything I suggest she takes to her managerwho used to be mine as well as hers. So far Ive planned, organized, and led all our meetings for her as well.On top of my current issue with my manager not managing me, my company can be a bit shaky. We have security issues every few months which damage relationships with our partners that I need to fix. Our developers often take shortcuts which hurt our products and will tell you requests are not possible when I know in fact they are. We dont use a bug tracker so I must constantly message people for support as things are often forgotten and never followed up on despite being told itll be looked at. And overall everything Ive learned her has been self learning. My SO mentions a lot that its astounding the lack of learning Ive had since startingthis is my first major job.Work overall has become extremely discouraging. I give it my all and I feel like nothing I do is appreciated. I feel like a nuisance to the devs who I must go to for issues and its on me to be a bug tracker. Im one of the longest people at the company and people who have been there much less than me got promoted because they were working in departments that needed it due to reorgsexpansion which I understand but previously I was managing one other personwe were a small department. I am extremely upset about the fact me and the person I managed have been placed under a manager who does not know the industry and also we are not marketing but are now getting extra work for marketing on top of our salespartnerships job. I know she is taking credit for everything I do and its not setting me up for career advancement. And on top of it all it is a startup with a small revenue stream and while for the immediate future I think well be aroundwere hiring more not scaling back Im not confident that this job is stable and were known as a bit of a joke in the industry.Right before the reorg I actually received a raise and was told that I should be given more responsibility but then they decided to scale back rather than hire more for my department so Im fairly certain this change of management is not due to performance. Ive come home recently in tears because I feel like shit and that Im not appreciated at all. I truly see no future within the company despite 2 years of giving it my all.My question is a position recently opened up that I am interested in applying for. The position would be at a much more well established company that I have no doubt will be going nowhere and is much more professionalwere a third party dev for this company and its always been my dream to work there. Unfortunately the position would not be in partnerships but rather another department which isnt ideal and I do worry Ill be stuck doing that for the rest of my career. Another issue is it would be around a 20k pay cut plus I made 7k in bonuses at my job the past year due to performance and likely would make that again so it could be around a 27k pay cut? Ive recently paid off all my student loans and have no required payments other than rentutilities so I technically could take the cut and still be fine. I am saving for my future so that would affect progress but again is not the end of the world. My SO has a stable job so we wouldnt be hurting for money but 20-27k is still quite a drop in yearly income. Tldr: Company reorgs at an unstable startup left me under a manager who knows nothing and is taking my workgiving me work to do on top of my normal role. I have the chance to work at my dream company for a different rolelesser role. Id take a 20-27k pay cut. Recently paid off everything and saving for my futurehome. Should I take the downgrade but get better experience and stability or ride out my current job and accept the money?  <response>: I dont even have to read your whole post to tell you that you should absolutely not take a 27k pay cut.
