grainne6: Should I take a job that pays a lot less than I used to earn or wait to see if a better one comes along while I use up my savings?
If I do take this job I will have a lot less time to try and find another one but then I would have a job...
I need some advice because I just keep changing my mind about what is better to do - earning money is always better than not but the role is a lot less senior than what I am used to and that might be tough to get used to.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Sachys: I suppose it depends on what the work is for one thing (i'm presuming by your hints there that its some kind of offcie work?).

grainne6: Yes it is office work - to be honest the work wouldn't be that much different but I would be doing more basic work instead of telling others to do it

Licurg: Things tend to be simpler if you're drunk. So make sure you're drinking a lot before you take the final decision .

wpegg: I've always found that when you ask for advice on a situation like this, you've already got your answer. Go with whatever it is that you're hoping we're going to suggest you do.

We can't really help you with the actual situation, we have way too little information about things like, your profession, the current employment market, how likely it is that you'll get a new job, or how much longer your savings will hold out.

tinyE: I lost a job because of being drunk. In my defense they never mentioned in the orientation manual that showing up shitfaced would be frowned upon.

grainne6: You're right - I don't want to take this job but I feel I should so I keep procrastinating

wpegg: If you didn't want it, why did you apply for it?

grainne6: Because I was getting depressed about not getting a job I wanted so I applied for a job I knew I'd get even though I didn't really want itgrainne6: If I do that on my first day it might solve my dilemma!
