Is it a good idea to accept ~20k+ comp increase and promotion to dumber team??

Hi. I will try this explain this strange situation.

Team1 and L1 role-my current team. My work is very complex.

Team2 and L2 role-promotion w/ 20k+ more comp but team's work is dumb af!

I ofc want more $ and promotion, but I feel sad af that I will not use all my skills. I really enjoy Team1 for that. imo Team2's dumb work will fuck up my career. I think I will need to lie on my future resume about skills at I used for any work at Team2. Team2 is just for more money and promotion. I think Team2 would be for a few years until I find smart team with L3 role.

What do ppl think? Stay Team1 to continue to grow skills rather than Team2 for $ and promotion? I wish Team1 would promote me, but I think I need to continue to wait for promotion season? I am career-dumb new grad lol. Any help is good.

Would most people laugh at my dental surgeon's comment?

This happened ~ 2years ago. IDK if most ppl find it funny.

BEFORE I got wisdom teeth removed, I could not stop laughing lol. Basically, I kept on thinking about 1) super funny TikTok where the dentist intentionally spits in patient mouth and 2) me potentially exposing my inner views after surgery.

When my surgeon came in, I started to breathe in the laughing gas to pass out. As I pass out, he asks me rando info. I think to help pass out.

He asks my education and where I sent to school/uni. Then, he asks how I will go home. I say Uber. He asked if I already scheduled. I said no.

He then said,"OK. We will figure that out after the surgery."

After a few secs of me blankly looking at him, he said,"Oh, come on. That deserved a laugh!" I replied that I only laugh at my own things lol. We laughed and then I passed out.

But would most ppl find that funny? I thought about it a lot and IDK the funny part.
