Charter vs BA

Looking for some insight
Im a young pilot SFO at a uk charter airline on a permanent contract.
I have BA interview next year.

Should I leave my charter airline for BA. I would imagine I have 35 years left to work health permitting.

The mixed fleet flying would happen much quicker at charter which is what I want when im young and command I would expect to be 10 years.

Disadvantages I can see in BA are the 5 year freeze on shorthaul. an initial paycut for a few years, And the expense of having to live close to lgw/lhr.Joining the bottom of a seniority queue again.

What would you do?
