Would you take an offer with 35% less salary with two years less tenure (consulting) or stay unemployed while searching because you were laid off recently? Location is western Europe, asking for a friend.

Why not take the job AND keep the job search going from day one? Take the money while you can and while you need it, nothing would tie you to the non-ideal job long term.

True! And if there is somehow a question about that during an interview or something, absolutely nobody should hold it against you given the circumstances.

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

A couple of decades in this field and now I want to just walk away.

I’m at my wits end and the constant problem is a kind of “willful misunderstanding” of our process and value.
