I am a Software engineer with 1.8 yoe. I am working for a startup, now planning to switch. Product based companies are my priority.
I wanted to know which one should I choose among another startup and a big service based companies. What is the advantages and disadvantages in both the places?
Someone suggested MNCs will be better then start-ups. They meant the one comes out from MNC can get a big package. Is it really true?

Let's assume both offers 10lpa.

Well, you just have an experience of 1.8 years and it won't be upto you to choose or reject companies. First of all start appearing in interviews, you will know how good you are and what are the points you need to improve.

There are both advantages and disadvantages of both Product based and service based companies. If you have onsite aspiration then choose service based companies as probability is better in those.
Product based companies may pay you well (depends on how big their product is). A start is also a product based so keep those things in mind.
