Already accepted a role at a defense company (think Boeing phantom works/Lockheed skunk works) as SWE new grad. They would be sponsoring clearance. Some time after that, got an offer for JPMC as well for new grad and pays about 8k more than defense. I would say that im more interested in finance than defense, but that i would ultimately love to get into big tech. which would be the better route?
