There will be plenty of golden offers in years to come; the PhD is pretty one off, you won't be capable of doing it within a few years, or at least it will be far more difficult intellectually and energy-wise, let alone considering other life commitments you may have. Having a PhD will also be a significant differentiator for some of those golden offers.
That doesn't mean a PhD is right for you, or you shouldn't take a once in a lifetime offer in the unlikely event that is what this is, but FOMO can be a very strong and misleading signal - and fortunately you seem to be aware of that.
