What size companies are best for PM learning

Worked at a conglomerate and currently at a unicorn. In a conversation with 4 other soonicorn/early stage companies. Confused if I should move, also the benefits and risks associated? Lastly is it too risky to switch jobs right now (market scenario)?

What’s your reason to lookout? 1/ more cash 2/ more learning 3/ growth (high risk)

If 1, then go for unicorns/ faang.

If 2, then go for a good pm to engg ratio. Anything above 1:6

If 3, mostly startups will give you inflated titles, very difficult to justify when you switch to a bigger companies.

Try to combine 1 and 2.

Apart from this, is it right time to switch, I’ll go to any company with a really good product, if product is great they’ll raise funds, if business is strong they will weather the storm. Don’t go to any company with a flawed product.

Also if wlb is a factor then I would stay away from ops heavy startups.

4/ Culture and team collab issues.

However if I'll move 1/ will happen automatically. 2/ yes, also smaller companies are providing a chance for building zero to one products as well.

They pay good, however I think I'm not in the top 10 percentile. That's not the primary reason though, few leaders have moved and the culture plus team dynamics off late has gone for a toss.
