... are perceived as unsupportive of their team members. Recruitment is challenges.The organization's low salary increases (10-12%) create a constant cycle of recruitment due to high employee turnover and never ending expansion of various projects. This organization primarily focuses on recruitment, neglecting other important HR aspects like employee development, well-being, and engagement. It's really very frustrating to work as a recruiter.

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?
