From what I am reading, you yourself are not sure what you want. Here's why. You started off by saying that in the present company you are not "useful" to the company. Then you went and compare only the "financial" aspects of this present company and the SME.

I thought the important criterion should have been how the SME can best match your skill set such that you can contribute meaningfully. The pay and other benefits are important too but they should not cloud your main consideration- which should be your satisfaction in being able to contribute, career progression, training and exposure.

I come across many such individuals - they dont really know what they want so they hop from one company to the next aimlessly.

Recently I got a job offer from a SME. The salary and the benefits are not as attractive as the current company.

Current Company Salary and Benefits:
• Salary is around $3600
• 13th month bonus
• 2 to 3 months AWS
• 18 days of Annual Leave, 2 day no MC leave, 2 days Parents Sick Leave
• Medical Benefit (Only need to pay $5 per visit)
• Dental Benefit ($100/ year)
• $600 flexi benefits per year

Job Offers:
• Salary offer is $3500
• 13th month bonus
• 0.7 month AWS
• 14 days of Annual Leave
• Medical Benefits (Can only claim $20 per visit)
• No Dental Benefits
• Required to go overseas, with daily allowance of USD$100. Accommodation and transportation are provided. However not sure how often am I required to go overseas.

So should I take up this job offer???
Thanks in advance for the advice.
