Did I read your post correctly that you don't know what these jobs pay? If offers were made, why didn't you ask what the salary is? During the interview, it's often wise to avoid discussing salary & expectations, but once an offer is made to you, it would be an odd employer that wouldn't mention the salary, & an even odder one that wouldn't think it weird that the prospective employee didn't ask about it.

Do both companies match on 401(k) contributions? Equally?

You interviewed on site for both jobs, right? Did you look around at the employees? Did they look relatively happy? Do they have their personal photos & things up around their desks? Were any of them chatting or joking?

Either of these companies publicly traded? If so, whose market data (equity value, market cap, etc.) are weathering the recession more successfully?

How much severance is paid if someone is laid off?

Did you ask about the person you're replacing (if anyone), & why he or she left?
