They have selected you because you are good enough for them. Surely they're more worried about risk to their product. This is your imposter syndrome playing mind games. Or complacency.

Whats your YOE and tech stack friend. A ship is safe in harbour but that is not what ships are built for.
So do not let these doubts creep into your mind.
If you are in a position to take some risks, you should go for it.

People who do not want to give 100%, there is no place for job security.

Remember your salary is directly proportional to your hard work and efforts.

Agree with Accenture 100%. If salary is proportional to hardwork then we wouldn't see so much attrition rate.

Buddy if you are not good enough then they wouldn't have selected you. You are good enough for that job, it's just your insecurity playing mind games. Just put in more efforts in the initial months so that you will get comfortable soon there once you get hang of everything you are working on.

Well.. I wont say that one can be fearless all the time. It is natural to get anxious and your situation is normal but at early stages in your career and age it is relatively easier to take risks. There is no one-size-fits-all advice for you since it depends on many factors such as your age your experience, techbstack , financial situation ( any loans etc ) , how many dependants do you have and other such things.
List down all potential good and bad scenarios and think your how can you broadly tackle the bad ones. That will give you confidence.
Companies value hard workers so even if you are new to the domain, your harswork anf sincerity will show up on few weeks time and one cannot miss it.
So dont doubt your abilities and bring such thoughts in mind. Give your best and best will happen to you.
There can always be a chance of bad luck even after all of this, not denying that..but then that can happen in your current company too and is beyond your control...so free up your mind and go for it

Whenever you interviewed you are being interviewed on primary as well as secondary skill requirement People make sure the primary skill should be good then only they compromise so back your self if you have been hired . Asking this question is like I have purchased a house on loan what if the builder runs away , you have done your hard work . You will do the same in future. Everyone learns one way or the other if you put work hard you will excel else you will be just average so go for it.

You know a lot about current domain, but if you switch you will know about 2 domains. You'll work on different things, make relationship with new people, learn a lot. You'll INCREASE YOUR VALUE by a lot. If your domain knowledge is this valuable, than your current company will have extra incentive to keep you. If a stranger values you more than your current company then they are talking you for granted.

Make yourself so valuable that you don't need job security, if today you're fired today, there would be 2 more companies who'd happily hire you.

I agree but once we landed here.. no going back right. So I feel we all are same boat on this.

One thing I have learnt in my experience, The more you get into uncomfortable situations away from your comfort zone, the faster you can learn and grow and that in turn allows you to be confident that you can just achieve anything in life, even during bad times. Forget about job security, if you continue to master newer technologies and market yourself in your network, you need not have to look for jobs, new opportunities will present themselves and people would come looking for you.

You can only grow if you continue to challenge yourself and that can be done if you are not in your comfort zone. From your post, it seems that you are too much in your comfort zone and hence very little growth is natural. Have confidence in yourself and move yourself out of this comfort zone and join Dell. You will learn more and grow.

You always have to risk it. You got to push yourself through uncomfortable situations. You cannot be stuck in one place thinking I’m comfortable here. Dell option seems great to me from a career growth standpoint and also growing in your role.

Take risks, calculated ones at least. You will have less regrets later.

Fledgling startup or a big, established company: where would you work?

Working at a startup helps you pick up new cross-functional skills, forces you to dig deeper into your reserves, and allows leadership opportunities.

Big companies typically have a more structured path for career growth, offer benefits and perks to employees, and are perceived as more stable.
