I though it could be time to move on. Hence, I applied and am considering an offer now. The financial company (MNC) is offering $950/mth more. It indeed sounds attractive, however when we look at the annual package, it is only a negligible increase, knowing that bonuses in civil service is quite substantial. The offered employee benefit are though more attractive, i.e. not negligible.

I have limited experience in this new role and am thankful the hiring manager is willing to give me this opportunity.

Should I take or skip it? Opportunity does not come twice.
