Hindsight is a magical thing. Speaking from personal experience you need to stick with trying to find the job that you are passionate about. I took a job that wasn't ideal over another job offer. The decision came down to the fact that it was in a location (and other personal factors) that all fell in my "comfort zone". The job that I didn't take would have been a much better cultural fit and more in line with my long term goals. I just didn’t have the foresight to see this at that point. I underestimated the negative effect of taking a job that had a tech stack I wasn't passionate about, would have on me personally and professionally. I did learn a lot of valuable lessons from the job I took and by no means was it a write off. I ended up staying there a few years but can’t help wonder how things would be different if I had taken the other job. You have the right attitude in not wanting to get an unrelated corporate job just for the sake of having a job. So my advice would be to keep looking and if you need work desperately then settling for a temporary job outside of tech(or in) while you continue your search is better than getting tied into the corporate job you don’t want to be doing. It will be much harder to get out of that job and onto the one you really want. edit: formatting
