Dear Harish,
Please share the job description to your new job and the existing one.
Often the name labelled to a role can be pretty mundane , where as the accountabilities can be diametrically opposite.
Here's my suggestions for you to weigh the two opportunities :
- Compare the day-to-day deliveries. Check on a daily basis what are the tasks you need to complete on both the jobs.
- Look at the line of reporting. You might be reporting to a very senior or the head of the firm in your current. How far does that adds on to your learning. Is it very micro-managed or you have a huge scope to arrive at decisions?
- Find out how the information flows in your new job, and review it with your existing one.
- How about the work environment ?
- Have they offered you a growth plan ? How did the person delivering your role grow in that new firm?
- Is there an employee alumni at the new firm ? Tap into to understand where people from that firm gets hired.
- A new firm offers growth along with its business cycle. Where as an established MNC might have pigeon-holed work functions. This might sound stable , but can get limiting in the long run, if there is no Job-Rotation.
- What do you want to be in next three years, and how far each of these roles can take you there ?
Looking forward to hear from you !

So being in backend by itself should not be a disqualifying proposition by itself.
If you have faith that new firm will continue to grow and job stability is not an issue,then work in a new setup for all round learning experiences.
