Congratulations! I hope your new job is rewarding and long lasting!
Thank you. Was in a love my work hate my job situation. I minimized my discretionary spending and saved for a year to be able to afford the pay cut. Keep minimizing until annual raise next year. Will be ok unless something truly calamitous happens.
Yes, I experience something similar working for one of the two major gambling companies in the US. It is possible to move and get a raise; several colleagues have done so moving to Black Rock or JP Morgan which both have high barriers to entry and are more demanding of your time.
I'm based in the UK so not sure if the job market is as toxic as the US with LLM CVs and HR/TA processing of said CVs. When I did recruiting a year or so ago I found a lot of CVs that people had generated from their LinkedIn profiles and they looked terrible: do not say you are a 10X developer rockstar on your CV!
At the moment I've been at the company for over 2 years so that affords me a lot of rights in the UK and in a climate where there are a lot of layoffs, I'd hesitate to move. Like a few years back I was being spammed with recruiters trying to get me to join Spotify months before they axed their entire data team - if I'd gone for it I would have been totally screwed and with a mortgage I don't feel I can take risks.
