I am currently holding 2 offers, offer 1 from maanG, known for its healthy culture and another (offer 2) from a security product-based company, struggling for its stock price with negative reviews about the workplace.
Both these companies had quite a lot of layoffs.
Offer 1 - (maanG) Base : 21 lacs Stocks : $45k Joining/relocation ~ 5-6 lacs
Offer 2 - (security product based) Base: 32 lacs Stocks : $59k Joining/relocation ~ 1.5 lacs
There is also performance based bonus on top of this.
My total YOE is 3.5 years, and am from a tier 3 college.
My friends are suggesting to join the company from MAANG to help me build a name on resume whereas I’m inclined towards money.
Which one would you have picked?

While the MAANG, does add some value to resume and it says great culture, what if your Manager is a complete F***. And you’re also getting paid less, compared to other company. While in the second you’re atleast prepared for the worst and the money can totally make for it.
This is coming from someone, who joined a Tata company thinking the work culture would be too good and later realised that whatever company it is a manager can make or break.
