To cut or not to cut? That is a $ related question

How much is too much to give up? When it comes to making a career move, yours truly is as strategic as they come. Career decisions are made based on the following motto: ROI.

ROI: how does this help my career? How many doors does this open for me? Will I be in charge? If the money isn't there now, will it be later? Ahhhhh yes, money. This is the one thing I cannot reason through. Flash dollars signs in front of me and I have a hard time seeing anything else. I blame it on growing up homeless for a short period of time. The rest I blame on being extremely poor up until my early twenties. It is a complete complex I have. "Must always have money. Must always be financially secure!"

So the true question on this mission to the top is do I want to move backwards in the pay scale to pave the road for a much more corporate role? If yes, I could most certainly make a great name for myself. If no, then I get to keep the money I have now. Nothing changes with that no.

Like someone once told me, this is a ticket to the dance. So do I salsa or do I waltz? Would you salsa or would you waltz?
