Ask HN: Have you ever taken a large pay cut intentionally?

I’m potentially in a situation where I could continue working at the startup I’m at making very good money, or take a 90k pay cut to work at a nonprofit that I am _extremely_ supportive of, which is devoted to solving a problem I am incredibly passionate about.

While the salary they are offering is still above national average, breaking the golden handcuffs seems a daunting experience.

Have you ever done this, or something similar? Did you regret making the change, or staying? Looking for advice!
