Hi guys/girls

quick question.

I need some honest opinions.

I'm current working in a back office role in a bank (drawing about 3k)
I have a job offer from one of the brokerage firm as a equity sales dealer.

of course the new job is commission based and I will have to take a pay cut.

would you guys suggest I take the new role? I'm stuck here in back office for 2.5 years with no career progression and pay is not high. However, if I do switch into being a sales dealer, I may be kicked out if I do not perform well. I've tried applying to do other functions in a bank but did not receive any response. I do not want to be stuck in back office forever. I am also not aiming to become an investment banker or whatever big shots. I'm realistic and if i were to take up this new job as a stockbroker, will it put me in a better position in future compared to my back office role im doing currently.

I appreciate all your kind input. Should I jump or search patiently for a job?
