Considering Job change

I have been in Microsoft IDC for over an year now working as a Mobile developer . I recently got promoted to SDE2 ( 61 ). I now have an offer from another company with ~40% increase in TC ( Back end developer ). Should I leave Microsoft and take up the new offer ? .Can this have a negative impact on my career/resume as Microsoft is my second job after college ? Current TC after promotion ~26.5 LPA Total YOE - 2.5

No. A 40% TC jump is really good.

Thanks. Also haven't been getting any challenging work from last 6 months . How is Amazon as compared to MSFT ?

It really depends on team! I've only worked in AWS and it has some pretty challenging stuff. I can't say for the rest of Amazon as I haven't worked there, but large scale distributed systems is never easy.

It shouldn't actually

No negative impact. You are early in career, get hike and get broader experiences

Where are you moving to, btw?

Would not like to name the company as it would reveal identity . DM for details
