I have received an offer to join Salesforce and their success graduate program for the solutions engineer role, as well as an offer at Texas Instruments as a sales engineer. Similar roles, but better pay at TI (during the first year). I'm feeling pretty insecure, SF seems more adventurous and TI like an "old money" company...Which move do you guys recommend career-wise? I reckon that the pay at Salesforce should not be a problem after I finished the graduate program Salesforce

Definitely do Salesforce but don’t stay too long. Leave after about 2 years and you’re looking at 180k+

like

Wherever you go, don't stay more than 2 years early in your career especially. Your market value is generally higher than your salary after 18 months (10-20% min) in a job because companies don't pay high enough raises (typically 2-6%). You should also be able to get a higher title by moving atleast until you get into management.

Salesforce without a doubt, don’t even think twice

Thank you very much for the help! Want to expand why?

Go the TI route unless you really like to sell.

Salesforce! this isn't my first company but it's by far the best I've worked for - you can learn a lot quickly and rise fast if you want to - and once you have it on your resume you can do whatever you want. and there is a lot of internal opportunity if you want to move around
