When you’re interviewing, how much do you optimize for getting an offer versus getting the right offer? I’ve noticed those can be very different strategies depending on your situation.

Right offer straight away, I try and understand if the role has the right impact, I like what the company is doing and if the salary matches the expectations. Then I try and get an offer, and then I try and negotiate it. What do you usually do?

I would prefer the right offer the first time, but oftentimes I just need an offer. Right now, I have been looking for 8 months and desperately need a job, so I can't afford to be too picky.

Right offer. Ive been doing this long enough that if its jot the right offer,both sides are just wasting time.

I have been unemployed for 7 months, so any offer is now the right offer. Priorities tend to change very quickly when you don't have an income.

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.
