the offer of a job with/from a profitable enterprise

To our amazement, he refused the offer of a job with/from a profitable enterprise and chose a small company instead.

Hi,
Do both with and from fit in the above and mean about the same to you? Thanks.

Yes they do both fit, but there is a difference in the meanings: A job offer with a profitable enterprise; refers to the who/which company 'he' will be working for. Whereas 'A job offer from a profitable enterprise' refers to who/which company he received the offer from. But really the end result is the same.
