I'm actually in the same boat. I'm considering taking a significant pay cut if a certain job opportunity comes back up again, but it would decrease my stress level exponentially and would be more stable in terms of my monthly paychecks (it would be easier to budget). I guess this means I'm getting old and getting out of my risk vs. reward years (although I'll always have that element in me)...but it would be nice to know exactly what I'm making month in and month out, vs. having huge months and average months.
I also have to take care of my own benefits and retirement right now, which would be a huge advantage of moving to said position and would cut my professional overhead significantly.
