Too

Hello,

1.The job offer was simply too good to refuse.

I have to remove 'too' and rewrite the above sentence.

A. The job offer was simply so good that I could not refuse it.

B. The job offer was simply so good that it could not be refused.

I am not able to understand whether 'the job' was 'too good' for the speaker or in general.

Which one is correct (A,B)?

Thanks.
