I've received a couple of offers so far, and there are 2 that are particularly interesting to me.
Company A) Graduate program, overall the company I prefer (Over B)
Company B) Direct hire, pays more than 10-15% higher than Company A.
Its a pretty tough choice to make honestly. If A raises/matches B, I'll definitely accept A. But I have student loans to pay off, so salary is pretty important right now, and B's offer is much more enticing in that aspect.
The difference is mainly better company (in my opinion) and better program, vs better salary.

Speaking from experience, your first job's pay rarely matters. Go for the better program, and keep improving yourself. I went for my first job even though it paid 25% lesser, but always kept learning and pushing myself to do better. 3 years later I moved on to a job that paid more than my superior's boss.
