My suggestion is to stick there for a full year then only switch

I can but the thing is I am loosing touch in DSA and interview prep,I recently gave machine learning engineer (ic-2) interview at service now and got railed in the first round as my DSA and ml prep was not good So doing well at interviews and job are 2 very different things imo

I don't have time for interview prep like I had in my previous mnc which was pretty chill

Did it hurt ur resume? Like getting calls and other stuffs

I work as a freelancer, so I show them as freelance projects, though they weren't . It becomes a plus point

If I was in your place I would prioritise learning over wlb in initial 2 years of career atleast. Baaki it's your call if it is getting a bit too much and how the learning at the new MNC would be. Anyways make best of wherever you are and enjoy the journey.

Learnings is good as it's a very small startup with only 15 PPL in engineering,I build machine learning models and deploy them alone into production so growth is also good but at the same time I don't knwo whether it will pay off in the future or not as the work everywhere is different and doing well in interviews is very different (DSA+theory ml+ml system design) than doing well at job

As a recruiter, the first thing I skim in a resume is tenor - its a no for me if you have 3 or more sub 2 year tenors, no matter your pedigree - and I know I speak for most operators.

Sub 2 year tenor means less than 2 or equal to 2?

How do PPL switch after every 1 yr then I have seen PPL switching every 1 year in faang itself

Stay for a while. Switch to a mnc if you want to stay there for next 3 years minimum or else you will look like the greedy folk who is switching for a raise.
