    I've been in a similar position twice. In both cases, when the more "fun", creative (i.e. badly paid) places found out how much I was on, they said they couldn't compete and that I shouldn't take a pay cut as they'd feel bad about it.

    The grass is always greener: when you are well paid, you think "this can't be right, if only I was in a more creative place, I'd sacrifice the money and be happy". But the truth is, if you can't afford it, lack of money can make you pretty stressed and unhappy.

    Maybe I'm easily pleased. I can make any job creative and fun.
