Yes you should take it, if you got no other options.

Then you immediately update your CV with your new job title and jump ship for more pay. If the orginal company offers to match the pay you say "you had the chance to pay me more. If you valued me that much, you could have paid me that much from the start"

I cannot understand why this is so hard to get. People on here whining about their employer using them. Well, yes they are. Use them back. It's just business, it's expected on both sides of the table.

Last three times I jumped, I increased my pay by $12 -> $22 -> $32. I could go again, but I'm kinda fat, happy and lazy ATM.

I'm picturing you on a porch in a Rockin chair with chewing some grass, occasionally stopping to look around and go "yuup".

I'd like that.

Are you actively watching me?!

"yuup"
