I find it hard to believe that the choice is so binary. I’m sure there are/will be opportunities that offer career and compensation growth. You don’t have to decide to stick around forever right now. You can stick around until you find something better. Just be sure to take a look around a few times a year.

Overall, one of the best ways to accelerate your career along all dimensions is to switch jobs. You fall behind when you’ve only known one way of doing things.
