Tell them you've already had a better offer. See if they match or surpass it.

Which company would you prefer to work for? You might enjoy the lower paid one more, or it might cost you less in the long term with regards to travelling expenses, or cost of living if you have to relocate.
As you say, you've nothing to lose. maybe you should try and find out a little more about the type and amount of work you'll be doing before you commit.

Thats some good advice there from monkey. You should also look at the mid to long term promotion prospects. You might find the 23k though has good starting pay may not be the best option to get the fastest promotion, experience or salary increase.

Trust me, after 2 years or so if you go for another job employers will be looking at your experience more than your grades.

But like you said you got nothing to loose. You're in a win win situation right now so milk it for its worth :mrgreen:

Cheers dudes. Wolf you not doing the JET programme thing?

Yi-Long, I can litteraly get into a wide range of industries with a degree in Mech Eng, as the course is so diverse. This includes engineering and business consultants.

However I'll stick with my original offer, working for the oil and offshore service company. :mrgreen:
