Got an offer with less stress but similar pay — should I take it or is it a downgrade?

Hey everyone,

I could really use some advice.

I just got a job offer where the salary is almost the same as my previous job, but the working hours are much better (around 30 hrs vs 48 before) and overall it seems way less stressful.

The thing is… the role itself feels like a bit of a downgrade from what I was doing earlier.

I left my previous job mainly because the workload was too much to handle. This new one looks much more manageable, and also means I won’t have a gap in my career.

So now I’m stuck thinking ,is it okay to take a step down for the sake of sanity and balance? Or am I messing up my long-term growth by doing that?

Would you take it, or keep looking for something better?
