Good environment to work in with such a good and supportive teammates and manager. Since it's a remote job still a lot of focus on getting the job done rather than micromanaging like who is online or not till you are supporting your teammates in the need of hour and positive culture within the org.

Salary - Good

Even though salary is quite decent comparing to market standards but everyone likes appraisal and promotion. Not very high appraisal and promotion is not that easy

This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached. I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response. Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?
