In general I would say stick with a company for your resume.

But this is clearly an exception. This is an industry where jumping jobs every year or 2 is rather expected (on both ends - you don't exactly count on your job being there next year either). As it is so volatile I'd go for the higher pay. I am from the Silicon Valley and many family members in tech - it's just very different.

In my own career if I jumped jobs every year I probably wouldn't get the time of day from the next firm. But my employer has never laid anyone off in 30 years either. So it goes both ways in many industries.
