Decision time is close!!!! Thanks for your input!
Which regional? And how do you know upgrade will be within 3 months?

Without knowing, it still looks like the regional gig is the way to go in terms of QOL, career progression, and in the long term, I'm guessing the pay would be better. Again, hard to know without knowing which regional you're talking about. Sounds like not the best corporate gig to me. Good luck.
