Then I agree with the others, make the sacrifice to get your foot into the door of your career and experience in your degree on your resume. It will be worth it in the end.

Good Luck!

Tell Company A that you have another offer. Explain that your work experience with them has been enormously satisfying, you really don't want to leave, and are they sure there is no permanent job offer forthcoming? They really have no incentive to hire you until you show your willingness to leave. It happens all the time.

But I've also read that when a company gives you a counteroffer and you accept, an employee stays with the company no more than a year. Not sure if that is true...
