Re: Biggest salary cut you've taken?

["Lurker writer" <lurker_writer -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

The only salary cut I've had was when I moved from the oil business as a 
geologist/geophysicist for a small independent oil company to a software 
development company (being out of work for 9 months inbetween those 2 jobs). 
My salary at the time of my exit from the oil business was $75,000, plus 
bonuses, royalty interests, etc., which brought my compensation to around 
$100K. This was back in 1984-1986.

My job as a technical writer for a software company that developed 
geological and geophysical mapping software was $33,000 (in 1987). From that 
point until the present, I have always had salary increases when I moved 
from one job to another.
