to all respected/beloved forumlowyat users,

I intend to move to a new job in the GLC sector, the offer letter has been received but there is anxiety in accepting or rejecting the offer,

the offer is a one-year contract, the salary offered is RM100 less than the current salary, but the advantage is that 3 types of allowances amounting to RM760 will be given,
The distance from my home are around 5-6km

current job status is permanent, 4 years (1 company)
no allowances
The distance from my home are 7-8km

what do you think should i let it go or wait for another chance?

I really appreciate your advice and opinion

Usually the reason why some folks would accept a contract role is because companies might pay more for a contract role. That is to weigh the risks between monetary gain vs future employment. But in your case, its the opposite. You are jumping on contract for a lower pay, but you want that additional RM760 in allowance (not sure how much is this vs your salary). Consider this, if your contract gets terminated within say, 3 months, would the additional RM760x3 be able to sustain you whilst you look for a new role?
