Not sure how to feel about this but I may be taking a job for less pay. Anyone did this recently and are there any pros vs cons?

I took a job for less pay because I got laid off and needed literally any job so that I didn't lose my housing. The con is definitely less money, lol. But I will say the work is a little bit easier, so that's an unexpected bonus. I'm still looking for a job more on my level but this is fine for now.

Less pay, particularly in this economy, is always going to have its drawbacks. However, do you really need this job? If so, it’s worth it.

I have taken jobs that we below my normal pay and benefits before. The alternative was no job and other hardships. I tucked my pride and tail and took the job but still looked for jobs that fit my needs.

I’ve done temporarily. What I’ve learned is that you’ll eventually find yourself searching to replace the income.

Hi, I had finished my technical and managerial round on May 25th and 26th with PWC. The manager did mention that there would be another in-person round in the PWC Bangalore office. Although the first 2 rounds went well, there has been no further response from HR. Is this a normal delay or should I think I didn't make it. Any thoughts?

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?
