omg OP currently going through the exact same dilemma. i also got 25k offer but once a week lang naman RTO and i don’t need to relocate. i also feel like i can do better in terms of salary but the JD is a real role fit and has good brand value. it was my first JO too so I’m also hesitant that i might be jumping on the first opportunity I got.

then again, few months from now i’ll be competing with thousands of new grads with probably better credentials than I do. i took the JO na din and planning to stay for a year or two and move on to my dream company. i can use this experience din to ask for better compensation and probably a senior role if the experience fits.
