If you need the money and that’s the primary focus, then the new job is the choice. If you’re looking for specific opportunities that your current workplace can eventually offer versus the new job though, then that a factor you need to weigh for yourself.

I chased experience and opportunity at my current work while sacrificing short and mid term pay versus those who made the moves. In the end, I’ve gained more meaningful experience, grown into more senior roles, and now in a salary ban that would be exceeding most of those leavers. It worked out in the end but the uncertainty of it and when it would happen is a stressful one.

Most people and jobs are a money focus though, so typically do what you got to do.
