Good pay, but not worth it
The pay is high, I guess.
You will hate the job and yourself in short order. Management is incompetent and constantly changing. Priorities change on a whim and never include operational support. Interaction with other teams is constant fights because all teams have competing priorities with no proper multiteam planning mechanisms. The whole tech stack is a house of cards that is falling apart at the seams as we speak. The company culture will bring out the worst in both you and your teammates.
I would give advice, but I know it won't matter because middle management will be completely different in a year, and upper management doesn't care.
