Leaving Corporate Banking for a role at Primaries/Co-Investment

I have the opportunity to join an insurance/AM company within their investments team, focusing on FoF and co-investments. I am currently in corporate banking with good hours, making around ~190k all in. The new potential place is offering $160k all in. Is this worth the paycut? I've been going back and for on whether or not I should consider taking this role
