Saw a thread in Hardwarezone that Pei Pei got promoted to director in EY.. As expected

OK here's the story ... 1) Last year guy got promoted, now works normal office hours, can't claim OT; no more allowances. Annual pay $40K-50K. 2) BEFORE promotion, same guy work shift, can claim allowances + OT; annual pay $60K-$70K. Stress after promotion doubled as more responsibility and expectation. Now this guy, already thinking of qutting and move to another job. But new job is purely commission based but income potential is double or more. Should he quit or stay??
