I think you have to be willing to take a step back when you change jobs. A lot of people will never step back despite the fact that some of their salary may have been due to seniority and not skill. As someone with (almost) a masters degree in management, I can see things from both sides.
When I went to my new employer I was straight-up and said I'd take up to a 10% cut but would expect a good 1 yr review. They ended up offering me only 5% less (presumably because they liked my attitude) and after 18 months I'm now back to where I was. 5 or 10% pay cuts are obviously easier to deal with at 80k than 35k but the same principle applies.
