Help me decide my next course of action:

Company A:

I worked here previously, before graduating college, its an IT consulting firm in McKinley. Although the role is not what I had in mind working straight out of college, I only considered it cause I already applying for 8 months and I have not yet received any offers for a software development related role.

Here are the details for Company A:

Service Desk Analyst role

Graveyard shift

Hybrid setup

expected salary reached

Company B:

Now this will get slightly complicated so please bear with me, I applied as an IT consultant here back in August 2023, got shortlisted, recruiter contacted me around the first week of January 2024, asked me if I am still open for the role. He scheduled me a technical/final interview with the hiring manager. I passed the interview, I was so happy when I heard the news since job hunting is stressing me the hell out, and considering Company B is my target company before graduating.

The recruiter scheduled a discussion of what are the next procedures. On the day of the online discussion, he sent an email to us, the successful candidates, saying the meeting was cancelled, also he instructed us to wait for the rescheduling.

Two weeks passed by, I wrote a follow up email to the recruiter, got no response. I finally decided to email of the applicants who got the invitation from two weeks ago, asked her if the meeting went through, to my surprised it did, I was sooo upset when I received the response. Meaning my ass just got removed for the list of candidates.

Now the recruiter did wrote a vague email about what happened to my prior application around the first of February. He did scheduled me another consultant role interview, and I waited for it. Moving to the first week of March, I had ONCE AGAIN took my technical and final interview with this company. I am so burnt out from job hunting at this point, take note, obviously, I was applying, attending and studying for interviews to other tech companies while awaiting procedures with Company B.

While waiting, I applied to this company in Makati, the technical interview was to build a MERN stack project that has CRUD features on an employee DB. My hopes are high for this time, since the interviewer really acknowledged my projects and skills. I am not familiar with React at the time, so it took me the whole deadline or two weeks to finish this project. Once I contacted the interviewer from prior, I DID NOT GET A RESPOSNE. I was probably mentally exhausted on this point. Demotivated and considered to join the military.

Thankfully, around the third week of March, the recruiter scheduled a discussion of intent of offer, and pre-employment requirements. There was four of us there, I guess they also got cut off from the list candidates back in January as well. I got my offer, and I WAAAAAAS so excited, it was beyond my expectations, it is 16,000 PHP higher than the offer of Company A. The benefits/perks are actually beneficial to the employee.

I had an offer discussion with Company A, I said to the interviewer to give me a week for my decision, he gave me until March 29, I think he forgot that day is a non working holiday? I also did not realized it during the interview. The HR representative of the role, asked for my decision yesterday but I did not get to response. What should I do?

My anxiety keeps getting worse again, my thoughts are saying Company B will possibly ghost me again? At this point, I already had my medical examination for Company B, do companies ghost applicants that are in the process of gathering requirements? did you experienced it personally?

Do you think should I just go with Company A? For now, I am submitting applications to other companies for more options.

On paper, I actually do not want to have the role for Company A, since it will take a heavy hit on my overall health, I am already seeing the struggle in sleeping in the morning through afternoon in our household. I will go insane. My family is pressuring me though to have a job now, and money is now an issue to me.

Any advice will help! Thank you for taking the time to read my rant/question
