I've never taken a salary cut, although I took my current job for a 0%
increase/decrease. I would prefer not to do that again, though admit I might
consider a salary cut based on the particular employer . . . but I have a
hard time imagining what the job would have to be to make me want to take
the cut.
Cheers,
Sean
