Nobody can make this decision for you and it doesn't matter what we think! You need to ask yourself what is important to you when chosing those carriers (Contract, bases, work rules) etc. Just the though of starting over at 1st yr pay again... Ugh!
Well normally I would agree with you, but they did say that they are very junior so I would assume first or second year. Indeed, a lateral move is not great for pay but if your QOL could increase, it would be worth it in my opinion (Such as much to another carrier where you could be home based).
However, I agree I would not want to make that move more than once. To move to Skywest THEN compass seems like spending an awful long time at the bottom. It probably makes sense just to swim around the pool for a bit and hold steady unless you are so repulsed by your current carrier that you cannot continue.
Although, I do know some people who are "Type rating *****s" that just go from place to place to get free type ratings. If thats your thing, have at it.
