Hey Guys , Advice Needed . Please help
Current TC : 8L + 1L Joining Bonus+ 2L Performance
YOE- 1 year 1 month

offers:
Tekion :
Salary - 18.5 lac
Joining Bonus - 2 lac
Relocation - 1 lac
Stocks - 6.5 lac vested over 4 years
Total Comp : salary + bonus + stocks = 23.12 lacs for 1st year

Licious :
Salary - 19 lac
Joining Bonus - 2 lac
Variable - 1 lac
Stocks - 2.5 lac only for 1st year
Total Comp : salary + bonus + stocks = 24.5 lacs for 1st year

Should I join Tekion or Licious ? if Yes Which one to be specific
Priority :
1. Growth .(i want to switch to FAANGM after 6 months as SDE-2 )
2. work life balance
3. Brand Value (so that i can easily get calls from FAANGM)

I am in dilemma weather to Join either of these 2 companies OR to keep looking for Further offers from good Companies (swiggy , Hotstar , Flipkart , Gojek ...)

I have thought very much on this and listed down some pros and cons
Why i want to switch :
=>The Major reason is not Experiencing any growth nor any dev projects at Samsung. I have been given Testing Work in my team . this would create difficulty for me later when i want to switch . (Even i experienced it now when i was rejected my Amazon and Adobe from the last round just bcoz i haven't worked in industry projects till yet)

=> Samsung keeps its employees underpaid comparing the market standard and yoe

---------------

Pros of Staying till i get good offer :
1. WLB - wlb is good i get time to prepare for interviews (might not happen if switch )

2.keep on searching for the perfect offer and keep on interviewing

3. Maybe if i keep on trying i would get offer from better startups/MNCs (but risky coz i don't know how long i have to stay in Samsung to get them)

Cons: ( if I Reject all the offers)
1.
i) As In my Team no growth is present . Not working in any dev Projects .just Testing work . It would get difficut for me to switch later . As other companies would ask in interview about the work/proj. i have been working on
ii) As YOE increases applying for SDE-1 for say 1.7 yoe is not good bcoz most of my peers would be fresh grads. (I won't be able to get SDE-2 bcoz of lack of exposure to high scale industry projects). in that case i would have to wait for at least 3+ years as most of my peers to switch as SDE-2

2. The major loss that i would be having is lack of exposure to High Scale Projects that would hamper my growth as YOE increase. if i switch later say after 2.5 yoe i would have very less exp. working on scale

3. I am loosing money - Samsung keeps its employees underpaid far below the market standard

4. I fear that if i reject the offers i would not again land up an offer of this compensation again in future .

Any Referrals is much appreciated at this point in life.
Guys any good Suggestions are welcome .
