I am currently at a career crossroad with multiple offers and sort of lost on where to go. Would like to hear what people who were in my position did. Anonymized because people I interviewed with may be reading this

Me: BS in CS. 4-5 years experience in Field A, very hot field these days.

Currently have 3 offers

Company A - very safe bet financially, stocks more than doubled in this decade. Joining a team that does work in an Area I have no experience in doing work I have no experience in (would be a total career pivot, not as hot as Field A)

Company B - Safest bet financially, very big name, Couldn't exactly tell what they work on as they are very secretive about everything. Role will be more software/implementation based but still exposed to state of the art in Field A.

Company C - Not a safe bet at all, industry had a boom and bust and so did the company. Company went through restructuring to get rid of old C-levels. New investments are in but no guarantee on success. Will be doing the research and implementation in Field A alongside some PhDs, wearing many hats and touching a lot of different and interesting areas.

I am sure 50,000 of you have been where I am now, would like to hear your thoughts on how you look back at your decision.
