Confused about changing jobs again

My career started off pretty rough. I got a very average offer from my college, so I planned to switch within a year. I received a decent bump in my TC, but the job was in a different city. After a few months, I couldn't relocate, so I had to quit and take a job in my hometown. Although my base pay increased slightly, I wasn’t entirely happy because my previous company had stocks worth 5L, which I didn’t receive here.

Now, after 10 months, I’ve started thinking about switching again, as I’m not happy at all. Should I switch now, or wait another year to complete at least two years in this company? I’m unsure what to do.

TC: 18L base + 1L PF YOE: 2.6

Your base is good, stay for another year and prepare for interviews
You should focus more on interview prep than work. What are you doing?

Switch at 3.5 yoe.

Prepare for 8 months Interview for 4 months

Switch big! Aim L4 @ Google, sde-2 at coinbase, sde-2 at confluent, sde-2 uber, ripping, sprinkle something on these lines.

They hold the potential to pay 80+L irrespective of previous pay.

This is what I'm following basically.
