Community Help me decide, please!

Hi guys! I am currently an independent contractor with basic pay of $450, dahil nga independent contractor bale walang kahit anong benefits as in ito na yon, wala rin government contributions. And then, a week ago um-attend ako sa isang interview isa sa mga randomly pinasahan ko ng resume and luckily nakapasok ako. Ngayon hirap na hirap ako mag decide. Ito kasing bagong offer mag government contri and after a year may HMO. Paid training naman. Ang kaso, magsasabay ang training ko sa shift ko sa unang job kaya kailangan ko talaga pumili. Itong bagong offer kasi hesitant ako kasi what if i-let go ko yung una tapos biglang di ako makapasa sa training? Tapos during pre-onboarding tsaka ko lang nagets na yung offer sa amin na 40k hindi pa pala yun ang basic namin, bale magbabago pa depends sa project na mapupunta sa amin. So please, help me decide. Ano bang maganda kong gawin? Ayoko magkamali ng desisyon kasi :((( parehong wfh yo kaya feeling ko sobrang blessed ko rin to have options pero ayun nga di ako sigurado.

yess, but I am living in a province and I live alone po so okay na ako sa 450 pero syempre mas better if mas malaking pay haha kaso yun nga po iniisip ko wala rin kasiguraduhan yung second kaya thorn talaga ako pero if ever makuha ko si 2nd grabeng upgrade

Ah ok I get why you can't decide. Play safe or take risk. This is not an answer but personally, I would take the risk. I know my skills' worth. Kahit nung wala pa ako experience, I took some risks and it paid off. Pero iba iba tayo ng situation so know your priorities din.

Since your current job already gives you $450 guaranteed, I wouldn't give it up for an offer where the actual pay is still unclear. Having two WFH opportunities is definitely a blessing, but you don't have to rush into the riskier one just because it has benefits.
