Worked for ~8 months as a Product analyst at my first firm. Interviewed and recieved a Product Analyst offer from my dream company in my industry of choice and an APM offer from a startup. Took up the APM role planning of switching to the dream company as a PM at a later point of time.
2 months into the job, recieved a text from the SVP that they'd be happy to offer an APM role at the dream company. Coincidentally, current firm has paused all appraisals and there's a small chance of layoffs as well. Do I make the switch?
Pros of switching: Higher Pay, Higher quality of work & Product, No risk of layoff (Since dream company is bootstrapped+ highly profitable), much better exit opportunities
Come of Switching: 2 switches within a year so would have to stay for atleast 2 years irrespective of the work environment, higher work load, no wfh (currently working in a good hybrid system)
If I decide to stay here longer and the SVP leaves the dream company, I'd be stranded as well. Please suggest.
If there is a chance of layoffs, I would suggest moving
Take a decision based on
-nature of work (what excites you more)
-Industry
-Peers
-salary
Since the firm has paused all appraisals, they will not think a moment in doing layoffs as well later.
If org has the right to think about themselves, you should be selfish enough to think about your career growth.
Thanks dude, everything points towards making the switch :)
If the offer is from a dream company, better position and pay, it's a good deal to take. Of course, there are people who might say that it shows instability on your profile. When such a question comes to me, I tell them saying I look at it in a different way how it helped me. That's all.

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.

I have over 1.5 years of experience and and my current CTC is 7.75 LPA in a product based startup. Is it worth to switch for 10LPA or should I wait for another offer. I have had enough of negotiations and they can’t go beyond 10LPA. I’m ...
