so it all comes down to what yard stick you would like to use to measure your relative 'goodness'. which is why i asked what other options you have on hand or you know you can realistically get, which should be your key deciding factor in this case.

no other offers/this is as good as you get = accept this offer and think of progression/pivoting with some exp down the road

few offers on hand/got something on standby = you have the upper hand and can weigh the pros and cons

still not keen on this offer/set your sights on other industry = give it a shot if you can, if not, pick up the skills necessary and pivot (option 1)

just my 2c.
Thanks for the advice and sharing, i have a total of 3 offers, Marsh (MA programme), 1 offer from big 4 (audit), and 1 offer from the uni (ntu/nus) (MA programme)

The highest paying one is the uni offer with pay at least 25% higher than what Marsh and big 4 is paying, my only concern is that the exit option for me if i choose the uni job, i am not sure if the skills and experience i learnt will be useful in finding jobs elsewhere if i decided to quit, any thoughts?
