> Company B: I got an offer from another start-up like company, with a very interesting job, doing what I like. They pay: 3000 monthly for 40 hours a week, with 30 days paid vacation. Working here, would benefit my knowledge for my future plan greatly. I would not have that much spare-time between tasks.

I would note that 40 hour weeks, in my experience, are very rare in technical roles if you're at a "start-up like company". Be prepared for 60ish hour weeks (and celebrate if that doesn't happen).

It depends what stage you are on your future plan. If you mostly need time, Company A. If you need more mentoring and knowledge, Company B.

40 hours/week sounds unlikely, a and it can actually get pretty hectic if those hours don't include commuting.

There's also a lot of work in a startup that's just putting out fires or dealing with badly designed code, so you might possibly not learn as much as you expect.
