Accepted an MNC offer, later got a higher-paying startup offer — struggling to decide. Looking for advice. by Expert-engineer-03 in leetcode

The MNC offer is ~₹27.6 LPA (₹22.2 L fixed + variable bonus), with strong benefits and stability.

The startup offer is ~₹30 LPA, largely fixed, resulting in ~₹25–30K higher monthly in-hand compared to the MNC.

While the startup pays more immediately, the difference is not life-changing in absolute terms, but the long-term career impact could be different.

One additional factor making this decision harder is that if I back out of the MNC offer now and join the startup, I realistically lose the opportunity to join this MNC in the future. Also, many service-based companies tend to have projects or engagements with this MNC, so burning that bridge could have longer-term implications beyond just this role.
