Should I switch job for growth or stick to flexibility for now?

Hey Everyone!

I (24F) am hoping for some career advice! I am currently working with Provincial government and been offered a job in a crown corporation. My current job is permanent and probably a dream in terms of flexibility. I have flexible working hours, the ability to work from home, my own personal office, and an incredibly understanding director who’s honestly the best manager I’ve ever had. The role is out of scope, and I’m close to maxing out my current pay band.

The new job at the crown corporation is in-office and would be a one-year contract. It’s an in scope position, with a 10% pay increase from my current role. The job would be a senior position in the same field, meaning a step up in terms of responsibility. However, I’m unsure whether I should leave my current job, which offers stability and flexibility, for this new opportunity. The benefits are almost same.

I’d love to hear any advice or experiences from others who have been in a similar situation. What would you prioritize: career growth or work-life balance and flexibility?

Thank you in Advance!
