If you are starting I think it really doesn't matter, I like Ruby and did for a long time, but if you like the Python company and you say is bigger and you have friends there, then you should probably go for that offer. Plus Python is a nice language to learn too.

This is very important: Money should not be your priority at this stage, go for the company where you think you can learn the most, later you can find a better job or even consult, as you'll gain a lot of experience.

Good luck!

This is good advice. I'm a biased Pythonisto. Keep in mind that Python is used for much more than web stuff. Ruby is quite a bit more boxed in.
