After three months unemployed I finally got my first offer and it's buns.
I guess I should be thankful? It's hard to feel that way. What follows is a pathetic pity party: I was laid off under sketchy circumstances three months ago and am about to be embroiled in a lawsuit over it. So that's fun. Anyways, I've applied to over 300 comparable roles since then and had a couple of interviews but no offers. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn about this job a few weeks ago. It didn't look great but I decided to interview for the practice. Well, a week later, they surprised me with an offer. A shitty one. It's a huge pay cut, two steps down in seniority, full time in person working from a single trailer in their parking lot because their office burned down last year and is still being rebuilt, 10 days PTO a year with a 90 day waiting period (so I won't be table to take a day off for months), and the health insurance is horrendous . I mean, it's insane. At the same time... I'm freaking unemployed. Who am I to complain? I'm collecting unemployment and it's been enough to get by but who knows when I'll get another offer. I would feel like an idiot turning down a job but this is just plain awful. I know that I'm being a brat but wtf, man. I worked so hard to get to where I was in my career and this is where I end up? Tf.
