Guys , Advice Needed . Please help

Current TC : 8L + 1L Joining Bonus+ 2L Performance

offers:

Joining Bonus - 2 lac
Relocation - 1 lac
Stocks - 6.5 lac vested over 4 years
Total Comp : salary + bonus + stocks = 23.6 lacs for 1st year

Licious :

Joining Bonus - 2 lac
Variable - 1 lac
Stocks - 2.5 lac only for 1st year
Total Comp : salary + bonus + stocks = 24.5 lacs for 1st year

Should I join Tekion or Licious ? if Yes Which one to be specific
Priority :

  1. Growth .(i want to switch to FAANGM after 6 months as SDE-2 )
  2. work life balance
  3. Brand Value (so that i can easily get calls from FAANGM)

I am in dilemma weather to Join either of these 2 companies OR to keep looking for Further offers from good Companies (swiggy , Hotstar , Flipkart , UBER ,Gojek ...)

Pros of Staying till i get good offer :

  1. WLB - wlb is good i get time to prepare for interviews
  2. I can try for better startups/companies

Cons: ( if I Reject all the offers)

  1. As In my Team @Samsung no growth is present . Not working in any dev Projects .just Testing work . It would get difficut for me to switch later . As other companies would ask in interview about the work/proj. i have been working on

  2. As YOE increases applying for SDE-1 for say 1.7 yoe is not good bcoz most of my peers would be fresh grads. (I won't be able to get SDE-2 bcoz of lack of exposure to high scale industry projects). in that case i would have to wait for at least 3+ years as most of my peers to switch as SDE-2

Guys Any Referrals to top MNCs/ startups and advice/ suggestions is much appreciated.
