A320 Command (in a year) or EK A380 First Officer.

Hello Aviators,

hope you guys are doing well.

Currently I am employed with a ME LCC. With 3000 hours as a FO. (A320)
my Pre-Command should start soon in a couple of months.
And
I have been invited by Emirates for a A380 FO position.
while I see alot of my colleagues from my current airline are going forward with EK.
I dont want to jump to a conclusion and think outside of the “Big Shiny Jets”.
If I was 1500 hours in and 23 years old. I would definitely go without a doubt.
But being 29 and recently married and with a prospect of becoming a Captain here soon. I find myself kinda in a pickle.

two options that come to my mind are
1- Take command first and get the experience. Then fulfill my dream of flying a legace with DEC.

2- Join EK get all the benefits, But forget about command for the next 7-8 years atleast.

your two cents will be appreciated.
thanks
