I rejected a startup a few months ago for a big TMT company but thought I made a big mistake since my current role was a huge discrepancy than what I was told. I reached out to the old hiring manager, went through interviews, got an offer but it’s lower than my original offer. Startup got acquired so I was actually hoping to ask for more $$ since my current job pays more & is more stable. Current job is better brand, $$ (40k more), benefits, stability but my role sucks. What do I do?

Why are you so confident the role at the start up would be better? Maybe that role sucks too. And then you’d be making less money with less stability.
