Want to join a small/mid sized company. Prioritizing location first. Hate the bureaucracy and hate the commute. The commute part, especially, I feel like it's ruining my life and the mental/physical health toil isn't worth it. I don't want to move where I live because of various non-negotiable reasons.

Should I expect a pay cut for making a move like this? How much?

TC: 220k L4 non-tech

    If you take your time and don’t rush it, you should be able to negotiate a pay raise. Find the right position where your skills will come into play.

    I left Amazon leaving my RSU's that were given to me at around 300. So I walked away from a good amount of money there.
    Best fucking money I've ever spent.

    Your mental health/well being must be priority number 1.

    Put a price tag on it. How much is your health worth?

    Apart from that point. If you're still in a good spot to handle a few more months. You can even look for a raise :)

    For 10-15% cut, I would prioritize what makes you happy. We spend lot of our physical and mental energy at work, optimize for something that excites you.

    What is your role, and where do you want to move to?

    You’ll need offers to know how much your pay will drop. I don’t think anyone can tell you this in advance.
