Any suggestions for first time DIY build?

Im a 6'2" 180-190 back and side sleeper, and my partner is a 140 5'8" side sleeper. A big motivation of mine is maximizing breathability.

I'm planning on ordering the TPS kit in queen size:

15.5 8 inch coils

3 inch quad minis

2 inch soft sol latex

14 inch tps premium cover

Any suggestions or tips? I'm wondering if it will be too soft or if I should select a different cover size. Thanks in advance!

I have to decide between two offers and could use help.

Offer 1 is with a small device company that produces cool photonics products and would be a 6 month contract to hire role doing embedded machine learning/ software development in the research triangle area. I'd report to a guy who seems to genuinely value my skill set and he seems like a genuinely good person to work for. It's not clear what the permanent position would be.

Offer 2 is with a startup simulation company that does defense contracting and the like in Arlington Va. It's a salaried role with benefits. I'd work on satellite modeling and simulation work with them. A big draw here is that I'd be close to my sister and partner. In addition, the work seems interesting and the people I've met all seem like good people. It has unlimited PTO which does concern me, although I asked some employees and no one indicated it was a problem.

The compensations are overall fairly similar, with maybe a slight advantage to the first offer due to the lower cost of living.

Offer 2 however seems like the stronger offer, but I wonder if having a manager excited about me is worth it. What do yall think?
