No point to clinch to a golden handcuff if you have no passion or you will not stay for life.

Unregistered Good to make a decision and move on.

Bear in mind that a person's marketability will decline once you cross a certain age unless you are a hotshot. When I was in my thirties, I had a few job offers and even within the company I worked in, there were various opportunities opened to me. Now that I am above 40, the doors are mostly closed. :-(

I am just glad the company still find me valuable to keep.

So don't take up the new job offer. Go for studies instead.
Just think of your girl, your desired degree and your renovation.

I think you need a short vacation to refresh yourself.

Is the SHRI degree a good honours degree to study? I hope you are not spending your hard earn money on a degree that is less recognise.

Secondly, since you said you are interested in HR, you should start studying for some HR certifications.

Taking a deep pay cut to go to a job which you THINK MAY lead to a HR role in future, plus you THINK everything will go smoothly including a new, understanding boss with new, collaborative colleagues and work environment, hours etc etc and eventually you'll end up in the HR job which you're so SURE that you'd enjoy (ALL Maybe's, IFs only). Plus you have parents and kid to support.

Taking a pay cut is very easy, but getting the increment to go up to the same level again will take years. Stay and look out for other offers. Unless you have a rich partner.

How long can i go on with such kind of life?

Will dare be anyone dare to go for pay cut 40% to look for new avenue?
If you hate the job scope you will not go very much further. And in the meantime you will struggle with the stress and drag yourself to work every morning.

That said, 40% is a significant drop. So... try looking for a similar opportunity with a smaller pay cut ?
