Would you be willing to take a paycut if it meant you could get a career of your life and be fulfilled?

I'm a software engineer for a financial services company. I work long hours, but make good money, with lots of overtime for big projects. The work isn't exciting, but the pay is very good. It came at a huge cost, as I've spent most of my 20s working 50-70 hour weeks, missing out on so many life events. I'm not excited about what I do at all which is what really burns me out. I'm about to be out of my 20s now (I'm turning 30 in a few days lol).<br><br>I've been thinking about leaving my company to pursue other careers I would be more passionate about. I'd be taking a massive paycut to do so (it might be 50% less or more). This would basically mean I would have to move out of the big city I'm living in and into a smaller city or town that's a lot more affordable. It would be a major change for me, but I'm thinking that it's worth it if it means I can pursue something I'm really passionate about. I'm not sure what else to do though - I feel like I'm stuck at a crossroads in my career and need to make a decision about it.<br><br>It feels like the consensus in tech is that if you're passionate about something, then you'll do well and be fulfilled in your career. I've been in tech for 6 years, and while I do well in terms of promotions and pay, I hate my job. I don't really know where to go from here so any advice would be appreciated.<br><br>TLDR: I'm feeling burnt out from working in tech. I'm considering a paycut to pursue another career I'd be more passionate about, but I'm not sure if it will pay off or if I'll regret it.
