Have also received other offers paying significantly better in the high 4k range at other ministries, but i think i might excel better in the former position. Is it worth it to sacrifice a 1k difference in starting pay for better career advancement prospects?

If you want a life - go for the former. If you don't mind slogging your guts out, and have a thick skin AND don't mind being pretty much abused (being shouted at on the phone at 10-11pm when you've been working since 8am, being royally screwed for not responding to an email in the middle of the night by 7am, pick the latter). It's not a bed of roses.
