Sounds like a better job with more progression opportunities. To make up the difference in the current role you’d have to work even more than the 1 hr a week (which is a whole ass extra week a year).

This x100. You already assessed it correctly, same-ish salary for an entry level versus a supervisor. Take the entry level job and it’ll be easier to work up to the next level.

Also, the company could have been paying that amount already but chose to under pay.

And if they do that, chances are the office culture is garbage too.

Depends on context of OP's interactions in the past. If they asked management for a raise in the past but were repeatedly told no, yes, that's all on the company.

Also, this position is structurally at the limit for the current company but entry level at the new one. There maybe some inherent limitations currently that have nothing to do with being stingy with pay.

salary < hourly sometimes people expect extra for nothing

That is way too broad of an assertion to simply state salary is always the lesser option.

Without taking one side or the other, my opinion would be that each has their pros and cons. Speaking as someone who has done W-2 salaried, W-2 hourly, 1099 "pre-negotiated amount for delivery of project", and 1099 hourly throughout my professional career.

In OP's case, with the limited details presented I would suggest the salaried position if anything for the opportunity for future growth. If entry level is gonna pay comparatively equal / slightly more than supervisor (makes me suspect the nature of each position is probably two completely different jobs / industries), it seems like OP is already reaching a ceiling in compensation with the current position.

Yup this. Titles don’t mean shit, it’s better to be under titled and move up than to be over titled with no progression.
