Working as a soldier is always than just a job. The advantage of working in Corps of Signals in Army is the technical edge over peers and subordinates due to nature of tasks assigned. As it is said for Army, it is call beyond duty, I say that either you have it or you don't! I served and it has been an honour.

Dislikes

One has at times little personal time. There are days without a breakthrough hence mentally sapping. One has to bear the burden of separation from loved ones as a job requirement.

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?
