it depends on your situation and how u see yourself advancing into your 40's. do you wish for more work life balance? r u working so hard now that it feels not worth it or affecting ur health.? but based on just pay alone, one should not have to take a pay cut when changing jobs, it doesn't look or feel good. However , if your 5k a month job requires you to spend most weekends on a plane, then that's a different matter. what i can tell you is that i just turned 40+ a few years back, and the drop in energy level is quite significant.
