Help please

I am current working at a boutique investment bank as a first year analyst and now I got an offer from a BB to work in their treasury department (Liquidity Management) at a Senior Analyst position. I am really confused because the pay is 1.5x my current pay with a lot more perks. My current job is remote and I'm also an international student with two H1b Cycles remaining. My long term goal is to be in IB/PE/M&A space. I am contemplating where to take the offer or not and if I'd be able to switch back to FO roles after some time here. Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Is it 1.5x your current pay before or after expected bonus? Presumably you wouldn't expect much of a bonus working in their treasury department... Can't comment on the international student aspect, but if you want to do IB and you are currently in IB, it seems that looking to lateral to a better paying bank in IB makes more sense (appreciating the market is not ideal for that, but in the coming years).
