Need Advice on Job Offer
I've been offered a process engineering role for a chemical product manufacturer at 115k base plus 5% 401k match but no bonus. The main focus is yield improvement through independent DMAIC projects and quality department based PDCA plans.
I'm currently a process engineer in pharmaceutical contract manufacturing making 91K base plus 6% match and 8% bonus based on company performance. I have seen anywhere from 1% to 7% bonus so far in three years and solely COL 2.5% annual raises.
Would leaving pharmaceutical manufacturing for chemical product manufacturing for the 19.18% raise and transition way from the large pharma politics be worth it? I'm scared I am looking at the short term gain without seeing the long term full picture of my career.

Any advice?
Hello I am going into my freshman year of college but I was wondering if anyone had some advice? I want to pursue an industrial engineering degree. I do love to do art however I want to keep art as a hobby. But I am naturally a curious person and doing art has helped me be a creative person like I do like to build things, solve problems, take things apart etc. However I’m out of practice with my math skills like wayyy out of practice. I took algebra 1 in 8th grade and enjoyed it and got an A. But then I went to high school, jumped straight into algebra 2 with a teacher who barely taught us and that was my downfall. I was good in geometry my sophomore year however junior year I took a math class that had a long term sub so we didn’t learn anything…. Senior year I did not take any math class. I would say I’m bad at math but that’s not the case I just haven’t had a real math class in years and I never took it upon myself to learn on my own. So I would really be re building and re learning my math skills here. Any advice? Tips? I’d appreciate anyone’s honest opinion!
