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?

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

whenever you feel so, switch
i have switched in 24 months, 18 months, 9 months, 6 months, 4 months, 3 months, 1 month, even in 16 days
its your life, do whatever you wanna do
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.
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.
