Default Advice: Jumping from Big 4 to Bank

Hi, seeking some advice on career choices...
Been offered an internal audit position (IT audit) at a bank at changi business park and currently have been in one of the big 4s for 3 years, going into my 4th year. Is it wise to take up the offer?

Have some concerns:
a) How much of a pay raise should I ask for? (minimum amount,etc)
b) I live around the end of west line (jurong) so the commute may be super taxing, is it worth it? Not too sure whether theres shuttle bus from west to east, if any one is currently in the same situation, kindly comment?

Career wise, I am not sure whether its a good time to jump? Would I be learning more outside than in a big4?

Really appreciate any comments!

How many years of experience do you have?
Senior role = senior associate?

Been talking to some recruiters recently

some said market rate around 10-15%
1 or 2 said it is good to even move laterally across

Had a bank offer two months back only 10%

Just ask for higher and let them renego

10% is really low especially if you look at the increment if you stayed on in big4...
