Confused, please help

I interned at a fintech unicorn as a PM Intern in my 3rd year and wasn't able to get a return offer because of hiring freeze. I joined a relatively stable MNC as an analyst thru campus but don't really enjoy the job and there's no intellectual stimulation as well. Doing work here feels like a chore whereas I really enjoyed working at the unicorn.

Now, the previous company had reached out to me and offering me a position. How should I proceed, really scared of layoffs as I have an education loan.

Salary is more or less the same. They are funded but again just a lot of lay offs.

You can consider factors like

  • if they did layoffs previously
  • did they get any funding recently. If not when was the last time they got funding and how much.

In my personal opinion, as it's a unicorn that too in the fintech domain you should join without worrying much.

All high growth jobs will have a lot of work. The least you should want from it is to enjoy doing it.

I would honestly even consider taking a slight hit on pay for intellectual stimulation and feeling of learning something new. Go for it bro.

Depends on the company and difference in salary. If they’re well funded, you should be safe. If not, tread with caution
