I am on senior banking officer grade in one of the foreign-owned banks but just received an offer from GTB for the same grade.

What GTB is offering by way of salary is about 62% higher that what i currently earn in my present bank but i have been a senior banking officer for nearly 2 1/2 years and wondered if it made sense to just throw nearly 3 yrs away to start afresh on the same grade and struggle for another 2-3 yrs to get promotion which i heard is tough in GTBank.

What do you think? Moderators, please move to the front page

I get your logic, but would you rather be earning less (even with a promotion in your present Bank) than starting in a similar position with GTB with a 62% pay rise? It's not about the money but just take the GTB offer as the Promotion that's been overdue to you in your present Bank and enjoy the money jare.
We Humans are risk/change averse, but who knows what doors will open in GTB.
They say they don't promote on time in GTB blah blah blah, if you believe in God, your story can be different!
