So I work in a law firm in the finance department on a temporary contract. I'm also studying law part time. I have an interview for an entry level paralegal role at another firm but the pay is a lot less than what I'm earning now. The role is permanent, which is a plus in terms of security and it will open a lot of doors in terms of the legal career I want to pursue. But I don't want to live in a dream world and have to decide if I can cope with such a big pay cut. There are plenty of job openings in finance that I could go after instead and would probably get a better salary at than I have now but it's not what I want to do. I don't dislike what I do now but I feel like it's not where I want to be. But then what if I take the lower salary and take years to build it back up again?
Please any advice. What would you do? Perfect job with rubbish pay or ok job with good pay?
