Job Interview Pay Question

[JackoliciousLegs]

Someone who made say $80,000 at their old job should not be offered $50,000 in their new position...I can't think of many people who would accept that.

That happens a lot actually. I mean, that's particularly large, but I know several people that took pay cuts to work at my company. Bonus', comp packages, etc... plus the work being more interesting all play into that. I think it becomes more frequent as you get older.
