Now let me tweak the scenario a bit.

Join ministry need to take a slight pay cut vs. Join stat board give decent pay rise

Which one would you go for?

Can't answer this question with no context.
What is your purpose at this point? If you want to save more $$ to buy a house, etc then go for the short-term objective. If you want long-term career prospect, it depends on what kind of role you're offered at the SB and ministry. Also, various SBs and ministries are VERY different. Which ministry and which SB are you comparing??

You need to give more info for ppl here to better advise you, e.g. job scope/type of role, estimated salaries, industry sector.

I was in a stat board for 4 years before joining a ministry, but still I find it hard to give proper advice as there's not much info provided.
