Hi there, I don't know what to do...
I got interviewed, and offered by two companies.
One startup, being around for 5 years, they loved me and they offered me a whole project to lead in a team of three, starting from scratch, in something that I am really interested in, plus the location is central and amazing.

The other one is a bigger company, located a bit far away from the city centre, the position is senior but not lead, is not an agency but they work on a huge range of products, so I will never get bored working on the same thing all the time.
Pay is the same, the first one I possibly could negotiate a bit more, the second one I can't for sure.
I am a hit scared of getting bored in the first one, even though I have been working on single products company all my life, now I wanted to change.
What do you guys suggest? Any other parameters I would need to consider?

    My thoughts on start ups: Sketchy as fuck. There's no such thing as job security within the realm of start ups. 🤷🤷

    But that's my opinion, and opinions are like assholes; we all have one and they stink. 😂😂😂

    @jhh2450 I agree with you on this, but still... The venue is amazing, they have been around for a bit, but not too much, I have a mortgage though and job security is a fucking must...

    Which one will you learn more in? Startups are usually willing to try new things, but often let conventions fall to the side. The company will probably use less experimental frameworks, but documentation, testing, and best practices are more likely to be observed and taught. What do you want to learn?

    @gorsamp I know that would sound weird, but I think that the bigger company has more an open mind about new technologies.
    Plus I will probably trade "learning new things" with "stable job"

    @byte-me UK is amazing for jobs, I got actually 5 offers after 8 tech tests. Just restricted to 2 because the other positions weren't as interesting as those two
