> Is it better to get any job than keep searching for the job I'd be most suited for? Will depend a lot on the individual situation, but as a broad blanket advice I'd generally say, yes. Especially if you come from an undergrad/master's. There are very few of those really big tectonic shifts in life like fully entering the workforce for the first time, and a lot of it has more to do with having some job (at least somewhat relevant to what you learnt) than having the perfect job (which, frankly, you can't really know what that would be for you at that stage anyway). I don't see much good coming from delaying this just for the sake of waiting for the perfect match. That being said, if you have other reasons for delaying, like wanting to try a startup, that might indeed be a good reason to not start in a job. Or if you're a PhD graduate, you've had sort of a semi-job experience already, and you might have ways to stay a bit longer in academia doing meaningful things (post-doc,...), while looking for something that really fits with the highly specialized profile you've already built at that point.
