Should a DevOps Cloud Engineer with 2 years experience earning around 10 LPA (base salary) in a Fortune 200, switch to a startup paying 20 LPA (base salary)?
The reason to ask this question is, wouldn't it be difficult at the time of second switch, to move to another big organisation after one is already at a startup earning 22-24 LPA at 3-5 years of experience?
All thoughts are welcome.
