Do you think i should accept the job first and search for another job at the same time? Please advise
I totally understand how you feel. I was in this situation as well. I cant find a job after many interviews. Eventually I was offered, there is a pay cut or its a contract. I was lost as well. I guess its up to your own judgement and whether u can continue have saving to last you a few more months.
Its demoralizing, yes. But there is pro and cons. cons. Your pay-cut will be ur new salary level and even your next job after this will relies on this level.
Pro- as least you hv a job, ppl wont look at you differently. And you have lesser stress.
