Which company is better and more prestigious on a resume, the current one or the new one?

Reason I ask is because I too used to be into the title thing, but realized different companies treat the titles differently. A director at one company only equates to a manager for the same role at another.

current company: about $2bn revenue a year, 3k employees, private but probably going to go public in the not so distant future. company is more well known in the markets it operates in but the other day i saw a TV commercial for my company on NBC, so they have some reach

possible job: looks like they make $50 million revenue annually according to some sketchy sites that guesstimate revenue, private company, not a huge player but probably every adult in my state has heard of this company

Hmm you might get promoted quicker at the new company if the current company is more prestigious. Sure, it'd be lateral now, but it could get you up the ladder faster.

In fact, I'd express that in your interview that you're okay with lateral for now as long as I can move up the ladder. Companies like people who are motivated to move up.

Idk man, I'm with everyone else, all signs point to you at least going to interview for the new gig. It sounds more promising.

Think of this: in a year, you don't want regret being stuck in the same position with maybe a 2% cost of living increase of pay when you could be a manager at the next company already making 30% more with potential to make more if you get promoted.
