I’ve never even heard of those “big” shops so I’d take the offer
If you haven't heard of any of those, your opinion on this isn't worth anything

Nah, not as long as you have it on your resume already.
How long have you been at the big shop? Is your 3 year mark 2 years away, or 6 months away? What would the pay hike be at the big firm?
Btw, are you sure about the 2 level bump? Beware that titles across firms are often not comparable.
Leaving a big firm for a pay bump at a smaller firm isn't bad, but future pay increases will be smaller, and you may have to jump back to a bigger firm to have a better shot at good exits. The good news is you can kind of optimize. Jump for 28% now. In 2 years, jump back to a big firm for another 30%. Then you have higher pay, higher title and more big firm exits.
I found this very helpful thank you for your insight.
I am only about a year into the big shop so the 3-year mark is 2 years away. The largest increase I can get after one year would be 7%, likely the same for year 2 as well.
I will take your advice
How’s it going ?
