Switch from Salesforce SDE2 to Bloomreach???

I am currently an SDE-2 at Salesforce India with very strong compensation (~48 LPA effective: 34 base + bonus + ~10L public RSUs).

I’m on backend/platform systems:

Some feature development with minimal learning

Production incidents & performance tuning

I’m interviewing with Bloomreach for SDE-2 (Scaling Intelligence).

The work sounds genuinely tech heavy and interesting — search infra, scalability, reliability, high-QPS systems.

Here’s the honest dilemma:

I’m already paid well

Salesforce is stable but slow and bureaucratic

Bloomreach seems like better ownership + learning, but private equity + uncertain IPO

I’m worried about:

Taking a risk for “learning” when I’m not underpaid

Resetting momentum and vesting

Switching too early instead of waiting and moving as Senior

At the same time, I don’t want to stagnate just because the money is good.

For people who’ve:

Moved from big tech → mid-sized product companies

Worked at Bloomreach (especially infra/search teams)

Deliberately not switched despite good offers

Was the move worth it? Or is this one of those cases where staying put for another year is the smarter play?
