My dilemma: SDET offer vs Solutions Engineer offer, which one to take? (Money vs Title) /u/75inchsamsungtv CSCQ protests reddit

I have a little over 1 YOE as an SDET at an F100 tech company (also had a summer software engineering internship in college). Grad May 2023 with BSCS.

Ideally, I want to transition into full stack development at some point in my career, so at first thought I thought obviously I should take the SDET offer over the Solutions Engineer offer because SDET is much closer to full stack development. However, this is where my dilemma lies:

– Offer 1: SDET @ mid-sized tech company, 80k salary, Hybrid 3 days/week

– Offer 2: Solutions Engineer @ late-stage startup, 100k salary + 10% bonus, Full Remote

Want to note that my current salary is only 65k and I’m located in a medium-low COL area. So, all though the SDET role will probably allow me to transition to SWE internally after a year or so, the TC on the solutions engineer is very tempting. This is such a tough decision, what would y’all do?

Follow up: I might have SWE offer coming in soon, but its only 75k salary. If I got that, should I take it over these?
