I am a recent graduate with a economics degree, i had a contract position at fidelity investments for 8 months after graduating but that ended in December and I have been working at a restaurant since then. I got a job offer to work for a financial institution checking customers credit who are applying for auto loans. I told myself after the interview that I would not take the position if they offered me it because it looked horrible. Well when they offered me the job they offered me a 50,000 which for the coli is chump change
but for me is way more then any other entry level position I have seen is offering.
My question is I have an interview with credit Suisse A large investment bank for two positions that deal with derivative markets which I find way more interesting and unlike the credit job is a very young work environment. Now I have to decide if I should take the job I was offered by wednesday which is the day I have the interview for the credit suisse job. The Credit Suisse job pays 10,000 less and I am not sure if I would get it. I don't know if I should take the position that pays more but might make me miserable at work. Or take the risk of trying to get the IB credit Suisse position that pays less and I am not guraneteed to get a job there.
Anyone ever taken a position at a company for less money because they thought they would enjoy the work more.
Got the interview scheduled with credit suisse next wednesday. I was fukked over by my last job with Fidelity investments and thrown in the bushes with ten other young recent college grads with no warning after being told I was going to be there for a long term. 
to all the advice
