Need advice. Which company to choose.
Role : SDE 1, backend YOP: 1.5 years
TLDR : I've received a job offer from a startup in Bengaluru with a base package of 14LPA. This opportunity came through a connection who holds a senior position in the company. Currently, I'm employed at an early-stage startup with a small team, working on a great product, with a package of 10LPA.
The story behind this: I was laid off from my previous company due to their financial issues. At that time, I informed my manager to keep me in mind for any future opportunities. Subsequently, I joined a smaller startup with a 20% increase in salary as a SDE 1. I am happy with my work-life balance and satisfied with my role in building a successful product with a substantial customer base.
Recently, my previous manager, now in a senior position at a mid-sized startup, referred me for a role. Although my second-round interview didn't go perfectly, I've been offered the position based on his positive feedback, and they are offering me a base salary of 14LPA.
I have responsibility in my current company and my resignation will effect their timeline. also i don't want to ruin my connection with my manage also who offered me the new job.
I'm uncertain about what decision to make. Any advice?
Notify your ex (and possibly to-be) manager about your situation and get the minimum amount of notice period such that it's not a big loss on either organisation. Try to complete as much as possible and maybe write down some guidelines for the people who'll pick up your work?
