Company A · early-career development program

I recently received an offer for an early-career development program at Company A, which focuses on coding and business intelligence—exactly the direction I want my career to take. However, the program is only a few months long, pays minimum wage ($18-20/hr), and there’s no guarantee of a full-time position afterward, although I’ve been told the chances are good. If I do secure a full-time role there, it would pay around $60k-70k. On the other hand, I have a final interview coming up with Company B for a full-time role in marketing and advertising. This position wouldn’t provide the technical skills I’m looking for, and the salary would be about $20k less than what I could potentially earn at Company A. I really like the company culture at Company B, which is a significant factor for me, especially since Company A has had a poor reputation and my interview experience there was frustrating. I’m torn between the stability of a full-time role at Company B and the potential for growth and alignment with my career goals at Company A. I worry that taking the marketing position at Company B might lead me down a path that doesn’t align with my passion for data and BI, and I fear I won’t be utilizing my full technical skills. However, I also recognize that in this job market, especially as a recent graduate, I might not have the luxury of being too choosy. I’m considering whether I can still pivot back into BI after working in marketing if I choose Company B. I’d love to hear thoughts on this dilemma!
