I’ve been proposed an exit as Product Owner at a real company, not a consulting one. Staff seems nice, good culture, good salary (less than consulting but well), BUT I would have to move countries for that job and start a new life.

I’ve also been proposed a Manager position at a consulting company in my home city, with potential of bigger salary thanks to bonuses. Culture seems good... But I’m sure it’s gonna be a hell lot of work.

Which one would you take? Should I exit and never look back?

Oracle India (IDC) - 17 fixed + pf(91K)

Optum global solutions - 16 fixed + pf(76k) + varibale 2.4 L + 2L joining bonus.

which is better to go for? Considering growth and future.
