Ah, I think if it were my friend, they'd have to think it through. If they're really tired of managing people and it's affecting their well-being, maybe the 30% pay cut is worth it, you know? Staying in a job just for the salary and hating what you do doesn't make sense, right? Especially if they like the technical side of accounting more. Less stress, less pressure to chase people... sounds like a relief, honestly.

Of course, if the pay cut isn't a huge financial problem for them, it's a chance to focus on what they enjoy more, and that could be more satisfying than staying in a job they don't like just for the money. The big thing is seeing if, in the long run, they'll stay motivated in this new role, and if they have a chance to grow, or if they'll be a bit stuck because of the lower pay.

Personally, I've seen people go through this, and they end up choosing work that really fits their lifestyle, even if the pay isn't the same. The thing is, sometimes when the money drops too much, people start missing the luxuries, right? So, they have to see if it's worth making that "sacrifice" for a more relaxed job.

If they don't care much about the money and want a more peaceful life, I think the pay cut could be a good move, but it's a very personal choice. The vibe of a job that gives you mental peace can be worth more than any fat paycheck!
