The answer

The Istikhara prayer is legislated when one is hesitant between two matters, in order to seek the better of the two, whether it is remaining in the first job or joining the second job. It is also recommended to consult people of goodness and righteousness. If one of the two jobs is more in compliance with the Sharia, it must be prioritized, knowing that a woman's place in her home is more preferable.
