Tech vs non-tech company

I have 2 offers. One from a tech company and another from a non-tech company for SDE1 backend.

The non-tech company is offering me more pay. Significantly more.

Does working in a tech company offer you any sort of edge over working with a non-tech company? The non-tech company has good WLB. Not sure of the tech company though.

Care to share company names?
