Unless you want to get out of the rat race, don't take up the offer. Get more industry experience and apply to become an adjunct professor at a university.

But the workload is very relax. 10am reach offfice no one give a hoot, even my bosses also seldom appear (always say meeting, meet vendor). Most time in office just simple admin work, debug this and that system. Very no brainer job. Lunch is usually 1.5 to 2 hrs affair outside of campus. Followed by checkibg email, online game etc (use myvown 4G) data. 3pm usually canteen is quite packed as we all love to have tea break for about 40 mins. By then is time to reply some email and get ready to go home. Dont believe? Come visit any poly at 5pm, carpark will be quite empty. Its a relaxing job with decent pay, but will become very stupid as seldom need to use brain (but need to know how to push job or sh*t to others). Conclusion, good environment but too low pay. Go look elsewhere. Too low an offer.

The bonus of 3-4 months is true, considering civil servant bonus payout and performance bonus, may possibly be even higher than 4 months in good times.
All the best in your decision making!
You are lucky. I am 36 and my pay is 5112. I have bachelor and master degree from ntu.
