Would you take the first job that’s offered to you after being laid off even if it doesn’t excite you and it may not be the right fit? In this economy? Worried that it could be a while until something else comes along.

Yes. I can always move when something exciting comes up. And I agree with AD1

I would. Especially if the money is similar; it’s an experience and more of a network along the way

Yes. You can quit in 2 weeks if you get a better gig. Do it with grace and recognize the spot you’ve left them in. But know they’d do it to you if the tables were turned.

I did and even though the job sucked, I don’t regret it

I’ve done this. You might regret it but use it as a stepping stone to meet others and cushion your resume. Unfortunately, we have to be realistic in this economy. And remember you don’t have to stay stuck anywhere forever!

like

Yes because you can always interview next year! I did that and regretted holding off. Now I’m being realistic and go by who is giving you the opportunity! In this economy it’s also more ppl applying for roles especially if it’s remote.

Probably. Unless it was just truly awful, and even then I’d still do it for the money and actively look when I can.

It’s also a reality sometimes a role you originally interviewed for was put on hold. Usually when that happens everyone is aware of the two weeks notice period.

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks.
