1. Money: Right now money is not a huge issue but it is still an issue. My bills currently include my car (any expenses that go along with that), my insurance, and my cell phone. I am lucky enough to have parents who paid for my college. My big hobby right now is skydiving, which pretty much takes away all the money thats left over. The biggest issue with money is moving out of my house. I am currently in a position that I will be able to take an apartment for $500/mo with everything included (including cable). Anyone who lives on LI knows how much of a great deal that is.

2. I work very well with others and that includes school and work. I can work with anyone.

3. This is the biggest issue I think I have in my head. The 2nd company is a very large company to which I know they will not be moving anywhere (they can't, it's just not possible). I really doubt any other company can compare to there 401k options, pension plan, and healthcare benefits. My brother in-law works for this company too and he has been pushing me towards it also. The position I would be taking is a management type position and like I said I can move around in the company.

4. I believe the first company has potential to grow. The reason they want to hire me is because they believe they will be able to grow with my help. But none of that is definite. They are small enough to feel the squeeze of losing a project or two. The 2nd company is the definition of job security. Once your in there you are pretty good for life.

I know I would enjoy working at the 1st company. They could really help me fatten up my resume. The stuff they do really interest me. I don't know if I would enjoy working at the 2nd company, I may or may not. But with them if I do enjoy it I wouldn't have to worry about my resume for a long time. The 2nd company is also one of those companies where if they do give you a chance for a job and you don't take it you may never get another chance. Because of there benefits etc... it is a very competitive job to get. It often takes them 4-6 months to get back to you about your resume, they got back to me in 3 weeks (mostly because I went to a job fair and talked to the head of the department first hand).
