Scope of work not defined, despite being an engineer the works in which we are involved ar totally non core , contract work have been a great headache , have to deal with the unskilled and complacent kind of personnel, no work life balance due to 24 hours services, despite with huge responsibility we posses minimal powers , other department does not cordinate accordingly, always afraid of getting chargesheet or punishment even in small negligence, no career growth if directly recruited as sse, very less scope of switching jobs , establishment related issue does not get solved easily even in case of salary matters ,no facility of recreational activities,Babu's are the bosses even if he is lower in grade pay

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?
