Would you settle for a salary lower than your last drawn or current salary?

The HR of a potential employer asked me if I can come down on my salary expectations.
My last drawn salary is a little over 5000 pounds or approx 7000 USD a month and she wanted me to settle for 20% lower than that.

Would you do that?

Not unless they are giving you a stake in the company or it is a role you cannot get anywhere and you want that experience.

@Lifehues Neah, it is an average role - nothing that would give me a kick.
