Is it ok to switch the job from MNC to startup?

I have been interviewing for my next role and was interviewed by a well funded startup with high EBIDTA margins, great management but when it came to offer they offered me 10% to what I currently draw. The CHRO stated that we are a startup and not a well established multinational firm who can pay well. On the other hand the multi national company offered me 15% hike on my existing and their VP HR stated we are not some well funded startup who can pay well. Now this makes me wonder who is actually paying well. I have not shared my offers with either as it's against my negotiating principals to use offers against companies. . I can negotiate based on my skills and talent. It's a position of chief information security officer at the start up and Director Infosec at MNC. Job profile is mostly same.

Currently working at a startup, I'm contemplating a switch. When it comes to career moves, what factors should I weigh between joining a dynamic startup or a stable MNC? Should I join a startup again or target a MNC..

Hola 👋 fellow grapeviners, so in short, I currently work in an early stage startup and I really love the work. Recently, I have a dilemma that should I stay in the startup ecosystem or to go to big tech giants. Obviously 🙄, In mncs the work won’t be rewarded as much as the startups, but i will get good money and wlb. Can anyone show some insight to me?

I am a 2023 cs grad ,joined an mnc at 7 .44 base 12 CTC,worked there for an year(6months internship+6months full time) Switched to a series a startup at 16.35l base all fixed ,it's been 3 months now and the wlb is very agreesive although the learnings is good and I am working on core genai,llms,classical models,but want to switch to a chill minc with a. Decent 30 percent hike Is it fine? Will it look good on resume?

I feel like I am not growing in my current role at all, also the pay is better, would this be a good step?

What is your take on Software engineering learning in a startup than in a Big tech ? Like how does it impact one's career growth ? P.S. Please consider Zomato etc. to be big tech and not startups. Thank you

I am seeing a lot of layoff related posts everywhere from news articles to LinkedIn.. Is the Job market really that bad now? Or just the media is projecting that way? If it's really bad, which department you think is the most affected? How's layoffs specifically in India? Or is it layoffs in US but more hiring in India due to cost cutting? Are layoffs in technology/engineering dept as in for developers or some other departments? Your thoughts please..

Though startups offers great deals in terms of monetary benefits, sustainability is always a question. People are moving back to MNC's for stability. But the above is only in the case of Marketing profiles. Indian Tech and Digital Talents prefer working for Global Startups over MNC in ’23-24. It's tough for me to understand being from a marketing background which will work the best for me.

Currently in an MNC at a non-tech product role @ 6.5LPA, the manager is amazing and the team is chill. Work is also fun but the company didn't give appraisals this year. A brand new startup approached me and is offering 10lpa fixed. This will be my first ever switch, should I dew it? I'm 22.

I recently started interviewing after a period of about 5 years and I am very surprised about the change in the way interviews are conducted these days. I have now interviewed for few companies like Sitetracker, Avance Clinical, Iron Mountain and expedite commerce and each organisation had their first round as a fit check round which i’m unable to clear. Can you guys share some tips around it.
