I also got the invite for an interview with SWA. Any advice? Is SWA good enough to use days off for the interview? Pretty stoked about United already.

Where do you want to live?? Unless a SW domicile is a better choice there's probably no reason to interview with SW.

Planning to move to a hub for whichever company I go with. I'm ok with commuting short-term. Thinking about Denver though, and I've heard good and bad about both companies there.

I chose Delta over SWA so I'm biased, but I would not think twice about taking UAL first. They have a very big widebody (read higher paying) fleet and their CEO seems to be turning the airline around. No disrespect to SWA as they are an excellent carrier.

Good choice. You can move straight to the left seat of an MD88

With United I've had the opportunity to fly a wide body into Paris, drink a cold pint next to a warm fire as its spitting rain in London, bounce around the USA in a 737, go deep sea fishing in Majuro on an overnight in the Western Pacific, overnights in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Saigon and basically do everything my childhood self would ever want to do with this career. And I haven't even bid the 787 yet.

With Southwest you'll be bouncing around the country in a 737 for the rest of your career. On day one, when you step into that 737 cockpit for your first flight, say hello to the rest of your career.

That's my opinion and others may differ.

Maybe. Maybe not. Will SWA only fly 737's domestically for the next 30 years? I can't say, but I highly doubt it. A lot happens over the course of a career.
Not knocking United at all, but many also had the wonderful opportunity to be furloughed for years.

Choose your own adventure.
