I am drawing low $6k. Inherently, i am somewhat competitive and a go getter, so I am putting many assessment on myself now. Its the fear and its understandable, I am so comfortable now. There are pros and cons to both side, and alas, no place will be perfect.

I have until monday to give my answer. To be honest, I am 70% okay to take it. So lets see over the weekend.
Are you able to foresee in the next five years, progression in your current job compared to the offered? Normally you can ask the interviewer what are the plans for this offered role. You can also talk to your boss to understand what are demands of you and is there room for progression in the next three to five years. I believe this will help to clear some of your doubts in career progression. Last but not least, I strongly encourage you to ask for at least 5-10% more pay (in terms of annual package) to cover some of your losses in the coming AWS and performance bonus.
