Oh honey, let the market decide. Apply to both types of jobs and take the first job offered to you. It will take you months to find a new anyway.
I say apply for both and see what happens. Honestly the job market is really bad right now. I would see where you can get an offer and decide from there.

I’m in that exact tug of war right now. I try to just think about growth: will this place actually let me level up my skillset in a way that makes me more valuable. Prestige is cool, but doing work that forces you to think sharper is what builds long term stability.
Agreed apply to both jobs. What level are you right now?
Agree with everyone saying apply to both jobs. Then you shape the way you approach. In a smaller company you’ll get access to do more but then may need to overindex on ensuring you’re most current on trends and and what’s emerging which often times is a little more though osmosis and exposure at a big company even if you don’t own it.
