As I recruiter, I literally has someone in this position today.
Its my job to say - you're stupid if you don't take Company 1's position. The person had sat with me, gone over her employment wants, her salary wants, and then I handed her the position on a silver platter. Then another company was interested in this person for another job - doing what she wanted but no management responsibilities, 15k less coming in, and she would not be leading on accounts. And Company 1 was just in such a stronger place. Truthfully, Company 1 loved her but if she didn't accept the position today (they made the offer yesterday) they would have soured and doubted her enthusiasm. Catch 22 but true.
And if you're new to the market, whatever happens, to stay in that market, you really need to gain at least two years experience in a steady position in a company with a good reputation. You're building a career not just making a decision.
