How has moving to a less "prestigious" company affected your career?

I currently work at Microsoft and have a verbal offer at Juniper/HPE which comes with a title bump (mid-level to senior). Am curious to hear from other folks who have made similar moves - did you feel that the title or the company prestige had a bigger impact on your career? How did it affect your career trajectory down the road? Intentionally not sharing comp numbers to try and keep this focused on long term career implications.
