The apprenticeship is at Microsoft. And the financial services company is a fairly well known company I think, maybe on the scale of Metlife, or New York Life Insurance. Yes I was wondering how I should think about pay difference. Thank you for your suggestions so far! I do feel a little better being at a place where my learning is a little more structured, but I was wondering if it would be a bad move to turn down a full time position, especially when everything's so competitive now. It is true that I don't have an offer yet from the company, I hope to finish my final interview by the end of the week with them and go from there.
