If you can afford to take the pay cut and there is a VERY STRONG chance of it going up beyond what you have now soon, then MAYBE take the job.
Otherwise just keep looking.
Issues are expenses verses income. If income goes down, so must expenses; otherwise insolvency occurs.
Of course if you are already independently wealthy and do not need a paycheck, by all means, amuse yourself with the more interesting job, since money doesn't matter.
But I presume that you are not, since you have posted a discussion here.
Would "I" do it. No. Not after having done it in the past. It led to me feeling miserable in the long run with current pay which DID NOT go up until I changed jobs again.
