I personally don't believe that you can make 80K starting salary without experience in the field. agree with recruiter - entry level will be 55K-60K IMO. With that said I recommend biting the bullet sooner rather than later. As your salary increases in your current position and the longer your household adjusts to 80K the more difficult it will be later to make the move. Plus if you switch now rather than 2 years down the road... in 2 years you could be back to 75K-80K as oppose to taking the hit then. I realize it is easier said than done but delaying the move is a sure way to see your masters degrees go unused.
