Consulting company sounds more enjoyable and better experience wise but of course 100k a year isn't bad. I'd still go with option one

85 to 100K is only like 100+/- per pay check. I would then go onto other things such as benefits, hrs , atmosphere ...etc

Stressful or not, are you predisposed to stress?
Drive time?
Hours?
Benefits

Hows 85 to 100k only $100 per pay check? My calculations show at least $500 per pay check, $1k extra a month. Thats not small change. -
