Ya know, I really try hard to always look at the bright side of life ... I really, really try hard ... I try so hard that I even have to throw this up here to brighten this thread ...



Well, I tried, anyway.

Hammer away again, gents.

 

So, they contacted me to set up an interview, should I be considering this job, since this would be my first job right out of college? Or should I shy away from it?

 

no way in hell do you shy away from it. a job is a job. just always have an exit strategy and get everything in writing.

 

Go for the job. Spend a few months there, get a feel for the area, see what it's like. If you like it, continue on. If you don't like it, leave.

 

Since no one else seems willing to say it, I will. Yes, shy away from it. This is a company that is on the verge of insolvency.

Spend a few months there? Yeah, that's pretty likely, given their penchant for dumping people within weeks of hiring them.

You'd be better off rolling burritos. And you'd make more money.

 

It's JRC. Run like hell.
