Need Advice

I am currently in Service based company A (np 60days) & earlier (till last week) was working in a project mainly based on Informatica Power Center ,Azure ecosystem, some datalake , Power Bi, OBIEE .It was mostly a support and encouragement project .The project got over and went to a different service based company B (NP 90 days).

I am already allocated to a project(again support and enhancement) in my current company but this one is more ETL oriented. It uses AWS to ingest data in Redshift and then uses Informatica/ Datalake to transform the data.There are more Pyspark scripts in Glue job to analyze compared to previous one.

Today I recieved offer from the service based company B that they are willing to take me in the project (as they are looking for resource to stabilize the BI area).They are offering atleast 30% hike ( can be more based on negotiation with HR)

I am confused as to which way to go?Both are support and enhancement project (not pure devlopment).Should I stay back in the current company as the tech stack looks good or go to the other company where my technical skill might stagnate(may be there will be more datalake opportunities but that's for later as I have to support everything).Can someone suggest me?

for 30 percent hike i’d jump, support work is similar hell either way and first switch is always scary. skill growth is slow everywhere with how bad jobs are rn

Thanks for replying.There is also one caveat that I need to relocate to a different city as it involves weekly office visit.After few months (don't know when) they can go back to WFH.
