They said they have limits for positions, guessing this is the one for mids, as I requested a (known) senior range. (This one is close to the starting senior one)

Negotiations are off the table it seems, more like "take it or leave it".

> 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).

This is what I did on the previous company, I learnt a lot, but was close to burnout and have being quite bitter ever since, now I just can't stand corporate bs and I am wondering if this is just a repeat.

Pay from offer is ok, but the range for which I actually interviewed was great, which is why it's a letdown for me.

I am a bit angry currently, will sleep on it before answering the offer.

It's just normal backend, the product is less interesting than my current one.

Current team is in a state of panic since a few months ago and it's quite chaotic (which actually lets me train soft skills).

Current benefits are a lot better then the ones offered by the other company which are basic as far as the industry goes.

New stack has better potential long-term, current one short-term.

I understand seniority is different from company to company, however I didn't actually get negative feedback during the interview, which is probably the reason why I think it was unfair.

It will expand my skillset a lot, this is the main reason I actually went to the interview, however there aren't many other upsides, the pay difference will likely be negligible when (if) I become TL and be able to look for a TL job for higher pay.
