I always wait until about 20-30 min in the interview and I ask what is the salary for this position and they always reply and I usually smile and I've been very fortunate I almost always get the job and if the salary is not what I want I always fib when they call and say you've got the job i say thank you so much but the government just called and I've accepted a job with them. Good luck beware also about benefits sometimes they sound great and wow then 3 mths in you see a deduction on your pay stub that you have to pay a portion. I don't like that.

Depends on your age and your goals. If you are young, in your 20's take the position that is in the good company. It looks better on a resume in the future and can bring you more money then.
The good $ now, can leave you in a position later where you 'don't have enough experience" which translates into no impressive position.
I've been in this situation and I never looked back after choosing the impressive company, and I DID look back after choosing the good salary.

They say that, early on, you want to take the better position over the better salary. The idea is to gain quicker responsibility in a better role, which adds to your professional credibility and may help you get a raise sooner.... or even a better job WITH a better salary.

If the difference in salary is significant I would take the money.
For future positions you can always ask for more money based on your current (if you accept it) position.
Carefully consider the experience you will be gaining. What kind of accounting job?

Since it is your first job, you should gain your experience first. Be it the first job or second job, you should choose the one which could gain you with good experience. With that experience, you can choose a better job in your later part of life in case you want a change of company.

Room for moving up? If not, you're stuck.
Choose the one that has the job that better fits your qualifications.

Gosh, honey, you're an accountant, can't you figure this one out?
Smaller position, better salary. Less stress, more cash.
