I would go with the startup since the fixed is too high. High risk high reward.

Waiting for answers on same. In same dilemma

What's the health of the startup? Do you have job security? Salaries are highly inflated now and companies are forced to shell out more to attract new talent. If think there is no issue with the job security, go ahead!

Mind sharing the name of the company? If it has been around for 17 years, you should be able to check what's the work culture and all the other relevant stuff. Reach out to people of LinkedIn to understand the culture and the job security if you're worried about that. If not, 30 LPA is far too great a number to pass up.

Your experience is 3.5 don't you think 35 lakh comes with high job responsibilities also..
Choose wisely...

Yes, it surely does but I think we can't tell how a food will taste until we try it.

I am not concerned about the Responsibility, Roles and Work.

My question is if it's makes sense to leave Big4 for a startup or should I stick to a well established firm and not risk my resume.
