are you willing to give up a job for a lower salary than your current job but it will make you really happy on leaving your current job? when time comes that you dont want your current job or you are unhappy with your current employer and comes a new job but lower salary and it is the only job offering that you only have, would you take it?

hello,chardyme,see you again. It depends, if you just earn enough for your living at your current job, it is better to stay in your current job because you may have some problems financially. If you are still support your living when you took the new job offer, it is better to leave as you will never be happy to work at the old place, but it is important to know that the new employer may be no better than old one, it may be the same everywhere,but it worth a try for chaning. I will take it to see what happen then.

i will first ans the first part of ur question. see in our work there is some thing called"job sastisfaction" thats not related with money if my present job does not give it i will be very happy to move to another job which gives it next is the salary part. usually no one goes from a higher income job to a lower income job. but if the new job is in such a company which as a brand name or the job is such a challenging one then they may opt for it and the next part is the scenario in which the low income job is the only job available n we r in a kind of forced into taking it up cause we dont have any other option. well in that situation we will be unhappy to tell the truth cause its human psychology that ewe will never like some thing to be forced upon us but we don have an else option other than to take it
