not sure what offer to take

currently I work in an ai consulting company (<40 folks) with 20+ lpa salary. recently I got an offer from a big mnc bank for around 15% hike on my total ctc. I informed my current org yesterday and they have countered me with a 20% hike now. I am confused on what to choose. ps: I have ~5 yoe.

Go for MNC, the startup can show you the door anytime they wish, be it consequential or by choice.

Curious to know, what kind of AI services does the consulting company provide? I don't think OP has mentioned startup here - so my take is stay in consulting role because you're still young and you'll get to learn a lot of vital, transferable skills. And client facing roles are some of the best environments to learn these. In another 5 years you can move up to a Senior/Principal consultant level, maybe engagement manager/director too. After that you can make a switch to org side, you'll command a greater premium on your compensation negotiation as well

This is a startup though. And I can only go up to senior because of the flat hierarchy.

I would always be wary of the counteroffer. At the first sign of trouble, they know who to cut.

Ask yourself the cliche interview questions- Where do you see yourself after 5 years and where do you see yourself after 10 years? See which of the options will get u there and Decide based on that
