I applied for a job in a different city across the country. I was found suitable for it but they ran out of space in their intake and I was offered another role in my home city for the next 6 months while I wait to be placed in the next intake.

The thing is I like this new role and working in the city I grew up in is great, having friends and family here. Problem is it pays 80k while the role in 6 months pays 100k, and the path for promotions isn't nearly as good either.

I know this decision hinges on what I value more, but I want to hear your opinions on this. What would you guys value more, lesser pay with a "weaker" career path while staying near loved ones, or going for the career move? I'm single with no dependents so moving wasn't an issue.
