I recently had an interview for a marketing position at a small e-commerce company, where they were looking for someone with 5 years of experience to essentially run their marketing division. They offered $23-$25 an hour for a full-time, in-office role from 9 to 6. The interview was unexpectedly long, lasting about 45 minutes, and I was taken aback by the depth of their questions, which made me feel like they were really serious about finding the right candidate. However, the pay feels incredibly low for the level of responsibility they expect. I have other interviews lined up that could lead to salaries of $150k or more, but I'm currently in a financial pinch and need to make some money soon. I want to enjoy some upcoming World Cup games and basketball, but I’m also weighing whether I should take this job just to have something in the meantime. I’ve been through a draining part-time job before, and I worry this might be just as soul-sucking. I’m considering if I should swallow my pride and take this role temporarily while I continue my job search, especially since I’m also working on my startup. It’s frustrating because it seems like applying for full-time roles might be easier than finding part-time work that fits my needs.
