If you don't like your job, I would advise you to keep searching. Don't change your job out of emotion and take a lower pay job.

Thank you for your advice. What if the reason for job change it is not out of emotion, but really a role that you have confidence will take you in the direction you want to? I am a teacher for about 7 years now considering to change to a digital transformation role at another ministry. Similar to the guy/lady above, I was offered a 2-year contract with a 10% pay cut. Will the next public service role really not take into account my years of experience??
