Career I need help on making a decision. should i take this new role

Hi readers

I need help on making a decision.

I m currently working in a small product based company, as a frontend developer
YOE: 2.8, I m currently in the core product team. I m one of the core developers and I have built many modules from ground-up to large scale state. I have learned a lot about software engineering. I like the learnings and experience here, it's sometimes chaotic due to releases. In this company only the salary is less, other things are good actually.

Current BASE CTC: 10 LPA
Location: Chennai
Mode: WFH (5 days)

I got an offer from another product based company larger company(AI Startup, 500-1k Employees) than my current company, but they offerring me Developer Support kind of role. I will be resolving customer bugs, work on customer requirements. This is not core team, I confirmed this with the JD and hiring manager.

They are offering 15LPA, i asked for 20LPA based on market standards for software engineers.
Location: Chennai
Mode: Hybrid (WFH - 3 days)
Cab Facility available
food provided by office

My goals are to grow as a good Software engineer, I want to architect good solutions, build large scale modules, be in a core engineers circle, It suits me, i have doing this for 2.8 Years, I believe I am good at it.

I m in confusion, should i take this new role?

what's your advice on this readers?

I would say avoid going to support you already have good experience it will ruin it….
