The main thing is pursue what makes you happy while getting a sufficient financial gain. You will always adjust to live accordingly if you budget well. Huge Financial gain is not always beneficial

Years ago, I left a job I loved in the city for one on the suburbs. I was offered a ,higher salary, no city wage tax, shorter commute, and private office. Turned out it was a "grass is always greener" situation and I regretted it.

Go with what is truly more important to you - career opportunity or financial gain.

I can't really speak for how it is in Pakistan, but on our country signing at contract and then not joining can be a legal issue. By what you said, you seem to have verbally accepted but not signed anything, so you are not legally bound to choose either of them. So you have complete freedom of choice. Make sure to value each aspect and make a decision. If I were you and had the information you mentioned in this post I would go with the one in Islamabad

Lahore has good food.. Bade ke chhole and Jedhe ki lassi.. I think you should move there.

What's the extra money worth if you can't enjoy basic things in life.

If the pay difference is not quite a lot, look for other parameters like workload, work ethics, and office environment etc.
I am assuming you are between 20-30 years old. thats when you have some freedom of movement. Use it ! moving between cities wouldn't be that easy once you go past 30s ( assuming you will have a family by then).

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?
