Yea, given that info, it is a little different IMO. You already have seen what a startup can be like. So you have to consider what you need/want most, a) learn from a more experienced team that does things in a more controlled process driven environment (assuming that is a true statement) or b) the startup life where you need to do a lot of self learning. For me this choice would be, what is the startup vs what is the corp job. If you are leaving a good senior team to go to an unknown startup that has unknown founders I'd likely stay at the corp job for 2-3 years and learn. If you have an opportunity at an early startup that has experienced founders or has already hit some key milestones of growth/market/funding it might be different, especially depending on the tech stack and what you'd be doing really (not the romanticized version but actually). Really hard to judge honestly, there are pros and cons on both sides.
