Need advice on offers

I am currently working part-time at a company during my senior year to help pay for my mortgage and other expenses. They have extended me an offer of 75k which is a pretty good offer for Raleigh, NC. I attempted to negotiate with the recruiter and he came back and said that they were not going to revise their offer which really pissed me off since my hiring manager told me that I was in a position to negotiate given my interview performance prior to starting my summer internship there. Recently, I got an offer from Amazon (142k TC in Seattle) which is much more comparatively than my current offer. The company I am working at has an INCREDIBLE wlb and the people I work with are some of the greatest people I've had the pleasure of being around. However, starting my career I want to get a leg up and I'm willing to work as hard as needed. What would you guys do, and if you choose the money/career advancement how would you deal with rejecting my current employer while possibly still working part time? tl;dr: Way more money vs Incredible WLF

The link shows you’ll definitely make more. I would say go for it and decide what you want to do in 2-3 years after learning a lot at a well known company. Your young and that’s the best time to set yourself up for better retirement and wlb later. https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator/compare/raleigh-nc-vs-seattle-wa

I’ve done the research on the offers but, w If they decide they don’t want me working there after I reject their offer I may have to take out a loan
