Ok guys n gals, I really need help with this one. I have been offered a position at a company with a nice salary but I really don't feel the company's product, furthermore I think that the industry cut they are working in is one of the most boring ones. Thus taking this job will mean that I will be turning on almost everything I believe. Another thing is that I will have to relocate to a town that I really don't like.

On the plus side the team looks great. Everyone seems really friendly and I am certain that I will gain a lot of experience. Also I'm a recent grad and I've been looking for a position for a couple of months. I know that this looks like a dumb dilemma but for me it's not. I'd really appreciate your advice..

    You don't want to do a job you don't like, even if the salary is good. You'll have to weigh the downsides against how desperate you are for a job.

    Never accept a job just because the money is good unless that is all you care about then you deserve to be miserable.

    A good team is great. Work there for a while and be ready to move on when you stop learning. Don't buy too much company stock and you'll be good.

    Take the paycheck and enjoy your team. You can always get a sexier job when you're better qualified.

    @MrKind money is money, but early in your career, you want to get lots of learning, too. You probably won't see the product every day, but you'll see your team. So long as the company will still be around for a few years, I think you're fine.
