Pls see below details & state out all clear reasons if she shd take up the new job or remain in her current job.
I really need USEFUL & valid answers from you guys, pls help me as she may need to reply the new employer on next week.

Pls take into very SERIOUS consideration about the Car Allowance, if it is going to affect her family expenses? Because she'll be doing a sales job, which requires her to drive around (probably not daily to clients' offices but she's still need to drive daily from her home - Chinatown to her own office - AMK)

NOTE: No doubt her new job is a sales job but they're NOT going to include any commission for her. She'll be getting her monthly gross salary of $2K - $2.2K only.
Whereas her current job is providing her with commission but only $50 - $100 per month and that mainly depends on her sales performance.

although both dun seemed as attractive offer... but the new job is much better in comparison. having a car give more freedom n improve social life n provide lots of convenience. moreover..she can always buy a cheap car ...like toyota vios(fuel saving) or kia rio.

how long has she been with her current company and is the new job a permanent job? is she getting along well with her current company people? does she enjoy the job there? is the job nature similar?
depending on what u have stated, i don't see why she shouldn't go over..
first, the new salary is not incl of commission while her old salary seems to be inclusive.. hence if she goes over, not only is her basic gross pay going to be higher, she would get extra commission if she works hard enough.. the difference btw salaries is abt $400 which is abt 80% sufficient to cover he family expenses..
moreover, she will be getting car allowance, subsidised carparking fees which old company doesn't provide for.. so that will more or less cover her car expenses..
as compared to being able to make own decisions, i'd think that being able to work overseas (unless she's unwilling to ), further studies opportunities and increasing self market value as more important.. those opportunities wil mean that the company values her and allows her to take on greater responsibilities in the future..
seriously speaking, market value is very important.. and salary too.. only with higher pay, u can demand more in future.. of course, the working hours and workload play a part too.. if the hours gonna be longer and more work, and your cousin cannot afford that due to family commitments, then better to stay put..
but overall, i see the new job as a good offer and chance to move forward..
hope this helps..

Before you make any jump, make sure your next job has the following criteria;
1. The take home pay must be $200 or more than your current pay.
2. It must be seen as a promotion from your current position or at least a move to a bigger company.
3. There must be better prospect in terms of promotion and take home pay.
4. There are more opportunities for you to rise up from your current position.
5. Finally, she must DECIDES for herself. Making decision is a key ingredient (especially correct ones) in the making of a good manager.
