IMO, it depends on how long you are planning to stay there. For a year - it might be ok, especially if you are working on your own stuff (that isn't in Delphi)

IMO, it depends on how long you are planning to stay there. For a year - it might be ok, especially if you are working on your own stuff (that isn't in Delphi) out of hours. There is nothing wrong with Delphi from a technical point of view, however it's a shrinking area of work. Myself, I have used Delphi since the early 90's, and just finished a rewrite of a product that was written in Delphi (we moved to C# as it allowed cross-platform development on PC and Mac) for one client, and for the other few Delphi clients I have I've made it clear I won't do anything else but urgent bug fixes (which is fine as the software is reaching EOL for them anyway). TL;DR - it's not that Delphi is so bad, but there are so many other environments / languages that are thriving these days, why limit yourself?
