I've been trying to catch up on old posts, and it is awesome to see you and the boys doing so well (even if there's not enough sleep going around). I left insurance defense litigation to work for a state agency three years ago, and have never really regretted that decision.

Congrats on the new job!!<br /><br />We cut so much out of our budget when I stopped working. My job now is to stalk out deals and save us as much money as possible. It has turned me into a couponing, consignment/clearance shopping, groupon loving master.

The conditions will be so much more what you need right now, and taking a pay cut sounds really scary but there are a LOT of ways you can cut costs here and there to make up for it.

While out on leave I interviewed for a gig that would have been a HUGE pay cut-- huge-- more like 40%-- and I couldn't stomach it (but they ended up not calling me for a second interview anyway).
