I do not foresee any promotion opportunity in my current job within the near future, and don’t have annual increment too..?

... is it a bad decision to reject a job offer that has a nicer title, more pay (8.5% bump), but much longer distance from home and more specialized scope..??

You are getting too comfortable and stagnating. IMO, that's a good sign to stir the pot a bit. For the job offer, I wouldn't mind too much on the title but the pay increase and newer opportunities are some things to consider.

I wouldn't complain about a nicer title and higher pay.

With the current 50-50 measures, employees are likely to work from home and this practice may, perhaps, carry on post-covid. Longer distance from home will be an issue if the role requires you to be in the office/workplace daily/most of the time. As for specialised scope, it shouldn't be of a big concern if it is within your expertise.

Fresh out of uni and got employed. However, I feel that the current job doesn't allow learning opportunities and also the future prospects of this job seems rather bleak. Am I too quick to judge?

Two years into my current role now. How often do people change their jobs for a pay increment or to look for new role to enhance their current skills?

In the near future, am pretty sure the other banks will increase their i/r too.. What does this mean for our future homes?

I am currently looking to find jobs outside accounting, which I have been doing. However most companies are looking for experienced people. Do courses in Skills future help one to job hop?

I’m completing my MBA in 3 weeks. Should I continue at my current job with some pay increment or look for a new job? I’m 33 and a digital transformations lead at an MNC?
