New offer. Confused.
My current CTC is ₹7,80,660, which includes a ₹1,32,000 night shift allowance, and my monthly take-home pay is ₹72,133.
I have received a new job offer with a CTC of ₹10,67,231, a monthly take-home pay of ₹83,333, and 192 restricted stock units (each valued at $60, vesting 25% after one year and quarterly thereafter).
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?
