Hi, I'm having a dilemma about a job I've been offered and keep changing my mind as to what on earth to do. Opinions would be very gratefully received!
I've been offered a job which is really badly paid but it might give me the experience I need to change to something much better in 6/12 months (the job description doesn't match what I was told at interview and they won't change it). Because it's so badly paid I'll have to supplement my income in order to survive (they've agreed to this). There's no prospect of the salary going up enough to be able to live on it for at least 18 months. I'm also not entirely happy with the contractual notice period but they won't negotiate.
Do I take it and try to move as soon as possible once I've got the experience I need (assuming I do actually get relevant experience)? Do I turn it down and keep looking for the right job (which I'm struggling to get because I don't have experience in that particular field, but I may not actually get it in this job anyway)? Or do I accept it and keep looking in the hope that I'll get something better before I actually start?
