Take the money.
Calculate like this: job1 pays 100, and imagine you get a 10% raise yearly for the rest of your career. Calculate your total income over your career. Job2 pays 15, calculate same. How much difference is it?
In other words: a significant salary increase early in your career tends to pay dividends beyond just the current year.
