I've been offered a senior accountant role, but it means way more stress for hardly any extra pay. How do you decide if a promotion is truly worth it?

It's worth it. If it's top much work and too kuch stress then you can quit and use the promotion title to get a better job with more pay and less stres. Always take the promotion!

Depends. Are you happy where you are now? Is it a good stepping stone to reach your goals? Do you have other options? If it's just more stress for a tiny raise, then I'd say maybe not. But if its more stress with a title/experience that will help you launch to a better job in a year or so, might be worth it.

If you want to move up the ranks into management/leadership roles. Or plan on leaving your company at anytime. Because you will get asked why you’ve been a 3-5 year staff and/or senior if you don’t get promoted every few busy seasons.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
