Was laid off in April and just got an offer for 25% more than i was making but for a role that I am not too excited about. Times are tough and i do need to get income. How bad is it to accept but continue with the rounds of interviews I started for roles I am more excited about?

At least 3/4 months until the economy is better (hopefully) and you can jump ship to something better. Unless, you have enough in your bank and you’re fine

It will probably be about 2 months until I receive an offer for other roles. There are a lot more interviews that still need to take place

Ultimately you are in the best position to make this decision. IMO, I’d take the offer and keep looking. It’s tough to find opportunities in general now and even tougher if you’ll be picking up new skill sets on the job, given the amount of talent that is in the market.

Take it. I did the same, about to resign my current job which I’ve been doing for 2 months

Take it.

Would that help in transitioning in as an IB Analyst? I would have a substantial pay cut (100K to 85K - excluding bonus). My current experience has not been seen as valuable by recruiters.
