Career decision - Job Switch. Need help in deciding on an offer from Crayon Data as "Data Scientist"

Currently I work for Verizon, as Data Scientist with 4 YOE and have a fixed salary of 10 LPA with variable coming around 2-3 more lakhs. The hikes (max 10-14% yearly), promotions, learning growth within Verizon are not that great but the work life balance and job security are very good. Due to financial requirements and to grow in my career, I wanted to switch job, so cracked interview from Crayon Data for Data Scientist role. They are offering me a fixed salary of 18 LPA and a variable of 2 LPA. Having this offer, I negotiated with my manager and she says that I'm next in line for promotion and can expect a 35-40% hike but that happens only in June/July & the salary changes start from September. And I asked if pay scale can be adjusted for my current role itself and she says that she can try to increase it by a little but there is no guarantee. Is it worth switching? My primary requirements are job safety, work culture, scope for learning. Any insights would really be helpful.

Salary Expectations

I am a Social Media Specialist with over 4 years of experience and was earning around 4.5 LPA in my previous role. When I joined my current organization, I discovered that my manager, with just 2.5 years of work experience, was earning a compensation of 7.6 -8.2 LPA (approx).
