Currently in final rounds for a mid sized tech company as a data scientist. Heard positive things about culture and people were nice.

However, FAANG and other big companies like Microsoft have started reaching out for first round ds positions. TC is also much higher (I am guessing 30-50k higher)

I want to get out of consulting and was able to finally make my lucky break with these DS interviews after 2 yoe. Should i wait it out if I get the first DS position? It would suck to lose out if ...

Cont.) If I don't get the other offers... I also recently switched companies so even if the other opportunites are open in the future, don't want to look like a job hopper ... mid sized company is also growing pretty well

Sounds reasonable to see things through a while where you're at if it's a growing company. Maybe you'll stumble on unique work that really excited you or onto a career catapult.

But in any case, don't count your eggs until they hatch. If you've got the energy, no reason not to interview everywhere even if it's just to gauge your options. Large companies won't blacklist you unless you do something ridiculous or back out of a signed offer, so no harm. At minimum you'll get interview experience for a later attempt, and at maximum an offer you can't refuse.

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
