[quote=Anonymous]Like many, currently on the job hunt due to an impending layoff. I’m applying broadly, but haven’t been searching long - a month since sending in first application. Interviews starting next week. My inclination is to take any position I get offered, even if it’s a significant pay/title cut- think a 50% salary drop and going from a executive to junior individual contributor - and continue looking until I land with the right fit. This is because the job market is ROUGH and I don’t want to turn down something that’s definite, based on just the hopes that something better is going to come along. I’ve experienced long term unemployment before and am old enough that the great recession feels like it was last week. Is this pragmatic? Or will I hurt my career by being willing to take a “step down” and then jumping to a better opportunity after a relatively short tenure. What is the minimum time I’d need to stay to avoid burning a bridge? [/quote]
