This is a perfect response, with a simple addition to make it relevant to the original situation:

- Your long term goals: Do you want a lot of different experiences quickly? Do you want a single place you will work at for years (however unlikely that is these days)? Will these opportunities help, hinder, or have no impact on your ultimate goals?

My final advice:

Sit down and actually write this stuff down. Don't just attempt to intuit the answer, but actually write down the things you want and need. Write down how you think the opportunities will impact your list. If you use that to feed your decision, it will make your choice easier and lead to a lower probability of regret later on.

Hm, good idea on writing these things down. I tend to keep things in my head, which I know is a bad habit. Thank you!
