All VP Venu Goteti Family and Friends are employed , Management does not have capacity to deals with him even after fraud was reported to them. QA Team Management by Prashant Rao who is Worst Management by any standard. He is busy in survival of his job rather in performance. Too much office politics' promoting on there acquaintance from their caste people.

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?
