Exposure is good and I’m recognised by my bosses (...just not reflected in the pay lol) but next year’s increment (if any) will be limited because I was just promoted this year.

Received an offer @ $5000 doing the same thing except I won’t be managing anyone and my days of leave have been reduced (from 23 to 17). OT most likely not required. Progression more limited as people here are in “retirement” mode.

Is it rly a no brainer to leave? FWIW, I do enjoy my work and the environment at my current workplace, though I don’t think it’s too bad at the new place too.
You’re underpaid, but the offer is still an approx. 20% increment which is OK. I would take it if I were you, if you don’t have any other offers. Much of salary/job progression depends on circumstances and luck. There are only so many positions in BB/foreign banks anw so don’t be too disheartened by the comments here. Continue to keep a look out for opportunities even when you’re in your new role, and don’t make the same mistake of spending too much time in the same organisation.
