This depends on sooo many variables. Starting with who you are and what you care about in life. Nobody knows your motivators and priorities and financial situation, etc etc, better than you. Put in two columns what each scenario gives you and what's important about each. Then sit on it for a few days, then look at it and go with your gut

Depends on how much you have control over the outcome. If it’s performance based that rests on your (assuming) capable hands then go after it. It’s a great way to make a mark and market your boldness in the futures. If it is more of a chance thing then take the firm salary.
