> but once people review your CV, it's a BIG deal. Having a leadership experience opens doors like no other, both on the amount of offers and salary.

This is exactly what's stopping me from accepting it, in year or so I could make a leap to another company as TL for a much higher pay.

I do prefer a tech lead position than a team lead one, but one can easily transition to the other once you got your foot in the door (you got it in your CV).
