Ask HN: Does a desperate situation always give rise to a bad job offer?
I've took what some people have referred to as "greedy path choices" in my career. Greedy as in an algorithm that favors the shortest route.
That doesn't set you up usually to find the best offer because you're thinking more reactively than proactively. And it adds a higher risk of ending up in a no-job or low paying job situation. But is it really possible to set yourself up for a good offer when you can't afford to be picky, when you have no income or money saved?
