Looking for a Job Is Tough

If you still went for a job that had dropped by that much, but it was still a meaningful amount of money and an interesting sounding job, well ... Good luck and all, but I kind of wish I had your problems.

I can't figure out what your point is?

Are you judging them with an assumption that they earn so much that a 30k drop in salary still results in a large salary?

Seems like it.

But what if that wasn't the case at all and they desperately needed an income and were willing to take an unfairly small salary?
