to phd or not to phd?

hello everyone, I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in medical biotechnology. I will be done in a few months and have some doubts about what to do next.

My plan is to get in industry and aim for a CRA/MSL/Data Manager position but I’ve been offered a PhD, which is something that I do not wish to pursue as I’m not interested in research.

Is it safe to refuse this opportunity or will my industry career be stunted in the future by it?

thank you in advance!

Edit: I live in Italy and here the PhD offering doesn’t mean you’re getting in, it’s just easier to win the selection competition. Also it’s just 3 years with low pay.

Recap: I want to make a lot of money in industry, stopping at MSc or not? I don’t want to fuck all my work up for this choice
