need advice: Should I get the Job 40k per month

TLDR: I can’t decide whether I should stay at my current job, or accept the JO, please help me huhu.

My background: CPA + another title holder, currently working as tax associate in one of the big four firms. Almost 1.5 years here.

Got a JO for the role of finance associate: basically
it’s rotational role in company that provides exposure to finance/accounting, operations, and regional markets (international SEA countries), while also building skills in data analytics, including query scripting and data visualization (SQL). My understanding is that I’d get hands on experience on how the business works, then it’s up to me where I would stay in the company after getting enough knowledge.

Here are the pros and cons imo

Pros:
- salary is quite good compared to current salary around 10-12k increase
- hybrid set up
- I believe i’d learn a wide variety of skills and would open up a lot of opportunities.
- weekends off

Cons:
- 2 year bonded, will pay damages if you leave early
- Limited number of leaves 15 leaves
- quite strict and fast paced environment
- 10 hrs working hours (9 + 1 hr lunch)

Personally, leaves are important to me since I have planned travels (long leave) that falls during the probationary period (no leaves yet). Current job is quite specialized right now and limited exit opportunities. Stressed na rin talaga kaya exploring na ng other opportunities.
Also, current job is easy to file a leave and has 24 leaves + 2-3 din per year.

ps: don’t mind the grammar, I posted this on a whim. Will greatly appreciate your thoughts pls huhu.
