ATTN : Career Coaches, Advisors, business professionals, please help !?

I am a thirty something M.B.A. with ten years corporate experience considering two job offers. The first offer is for an office manager for a doctors office (good pay, crappy benefits, no retirement plan, low to medium stress, pays $45k annually); the second offer is for a huge bank (A.V.P. position, high stress, high pay $60k annually, long hours, excellent benefits, 401k., medium to high employee turnover and burnout, etc.)



a.) Which one should I take?



b.) How soon should I accept the offer? Should I let both employers know I need the weekend to think about it or will they withdraw the offer?



c.) Which one will help my career in the long term?



d.) Will the doctor's office be ';deadend';?



e.) Will I be burned out at the bank (office politics, etc.)?



PLEASE HELP - ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS WELCOMED !!
