I see a problem in the fact, that you don't know which team you will be in.

In my opinion this is the most important question. The best offer probably is the one where you learn more. Usually, it is the one where the most sophisticated team members are in, given that these members are not occupated 100% of the time and you can participate.

It's a hard decision, but if you have no family I'd probably pick the higher paid one. Working more usually means learning more. However, try to find out if the bad WLB leads to a toxic team. This could be very frustrating and even unhealthy in the long run.




Yeah a lot of the WLB complaints seem to be team based with around half the people I talked to seem to have acceptable WLB (40-45) whereas others are working 50+ hours
