So hear me out. I know some people who have been jobsearching for years and others for a few months. I'm intervieeing for a role which is less money than my previous salary (around 7k less) but in two minds. I have significantly more experience for the role in terms of years but they can't up the budget. Do I take a lower salary just to get a job or stick ti my guns and reject if offered and still look? I'm applying for higher paid jobs than my last salary but the market is very competitive.
