Hi, I'm working at a product based company, I joined as a fresher and it has been 3 years, I have not been able to get an Offer in last 6 months of Interviewing with companies like Amazon, Cisco, Akamai, Paypal and ServiceNow, but I have got an Offer from startup for almost an 80% hike. I have put down my papers, but suddenly I'm feeling I'm making a mistake by moving into a startup, because I see people with the same experience are joining MAANG, I should've waited and tried hard?

I have done my research, it's a product based startup with good funding, reviews also seem to be good, but I have no idea about the culture, but seems pretty much good based on the discussion I had with HR and CTO

Please suggest , what is the possibility of the offer getting revise

I should go study abroad this month, but I am extremely anxious, I’m not excited about my course and overall not ready. Should I take a break and go next year or just do it? I did not think through the course I picked and it is new to the university so I would be in the very first batch. It’s in data science which I know nothing about and don’t even know if I’ll enjoy it. I’m so stressed about what the course will be like and what my opportunities would look like.

I am an architect working in the field for past one year , but now I want change my field to mba finance so would it be a good choice ??
