If it’s 32k less in debt, I think the decision is a no-brainer. I work in tech, and after about 3 years experience, employers don’t even ask where you went to school. The “higher” starting salaries with Berkeley is really because the Bay Area has a steeper cost of living. But in reality, it’s an entry level job. In fact, a lower starting salary at a lower cost area (Dallas for instance) would have greater purchasing power and would be a more comfortable lifestyle.
