Career wise, I think its good profile. Since you stayed at least for 4 years++ in the first company before you jumped, and even got several increments. No need to go KL, there are companies that have Full WFH policy. You just need to find it.

Growth prospects : Got room for growth and maybe internal promotion but need to stay for longer period
Where I will go from here : Attended 3-4 interviews and got an offer
*


So after 1 year of staying, I decided to interview at several open positions and I got an offer. This new offer from the company is only an increment of 5.6%. But the benefits are better. I want to ask you guys opinions, what should I do? Should I accept?

Notes:
New company is MNC as well. Bonus is around 1.5 - 3 months. Medical cover myself and dependents (current company only self).
The new company also requires employee to work at the office maybe around 8-10 days in a months (but it depends on your team, my team require to go office 1 once per week).
Job scope I would say pretty same.
