I think one solution is to accept the job and work on the skills that you lack to be a "good programmer". If you decide to go this way and believe communication is a skill you would like to develop, I can help. I am not an expert by all means, but I keep receiving good feedback from my coworkers regarding my communication skills. I prepared a talk with tips on written communication that also got very positive feedback (so much I am going to give this talk a third time inside the company). You may even notice that I am not a native English speaker, but my tips are about communication, not proper English writing :) So we can work it out on some remote coaching. What better way to improve written communication than exchanging emails on complex subjects? If you are interested, my email is on my profile. And good luck with your choice!
