Flat refusing to look at me

I have received offer from Shell and SAP labs is in final stage salary discussion. Shell is offering 6 lacs more than @SAP labs. I have tried to negotiate a lot from SAP but they are not ready. They are putting conditions like give your full commitment to join then only we'll release offer letter. I am currently looking for work life balance with growth. Should I join @SAP considering its a Product based and good WLB and learning? Teck Stack - Java/Micro-services/cloud YOE - 11yrs

My opinion on this has changed over the years. If you would've asked me this 10 years ago, I without a doubt would have said individual contributor. But as I've matured and realized how much more you can get done with the right team, my mindset has since shifted. What I dislike the most are those "me" mentalities I use to have... makes it harder to tolerate after I did the work to overcome it and see the other side of it, I guess.
Leading a team, 100%. I love the energy of helping people grow, solving problems together, and building something bigger than myself. Sure, there’s pressure and the occasional headache, but seeing someone thrive because you coached or supported them? Nothing beats that.
