Thankful to be in this position, but need some advice. I received 2 job offers. One job was way slower to get back and team not as friendly, but $10K higher salary. The company is close to home and very small. Good opportunity to meet people in office and get close to the team. The other job everyone moved quickly and were super friendly and excited. More opportunity for mentorship, but lower down position with $10K lower salary. Company is larger and totally remote. Any advice on my decision?

Imagine the salary is the same. What does your heart say?

$10K is nothing to sniff at. After taxes that could be $130-150 a week. Not all of that would go toward gas etc., but commuting has another cost, which is time.

So maybe the compensation is comparable after all?

Go with the people and the work you'll get to make. When I look back at jobs, I notice I don't rank them by salary.

And congrats on being in this very fortunate position! All will work out.

I would also add that there is always room to negotiate. Let company B know you are excited and grateful for the offer, but you have another higher offer. Let them know they are your top choice, so is there anyway they can match the offer offer or even just come closer.

OP, think about the overall package, not just the money. Think about the potential experiences you'll have. You have to work with these people day in and out.

I won't sway you to either option, you're living the life so all I can say is choose the option that will make you happy.

I would go with B earlier in your career, could always leverage more salary later on.
