Career decision

I'd look at the future of both positions: security and job satisfaction including pay.

Given the info you provide, I'd go with B. If the job doesn't work out as planned, you will probably have more options at your disposal with B.

Remember that you will want to retire at some point, and B appears to offer a better chance to improve retirement funds.

Product manager is usually a marketing sort of job. And such jobs are short lived. Do you want to do that ?

Oh, I assumed a "product manager" was in charge of product development and/or manufacturing, in which case he'd likely head a team, or even multiple teams. Well, live and learn.

Use the coin flip method. Flip a coin - heads is A and tails is B. Your subconcious will suddenly say while it's in the air, "please be A" or "please don't be A."

I agree with your coin flip advice... but disagree with how your subconscious handles it. At least my subconscious doesn't do it that way. In my case, it's not until heads or tails comes up that my subconscious gets involved. Then it will either agree with the decision--by not protesting--or disagree in which case it will become apparent that I/it wants the other option.
