<prompt> Human: Recent college grad of 2016, and spent a full year job-hunting and now I finally have a job offer letter of 41K a year with some other benefits. Of course I want to take it, but also want to get paid the maximum i can with room to grow and with my other abilities such as being bi-lingual in Spanish, I just want to know I get the best offer. My question is, if I decline this job offer letter, am I just declining the salary letter or am I declining the job all completely? I dont want to decline a full-time job after all this job-hunting but I also dont want to go in and later finding out my co-workers are getting paid more because I accepted the first thing thrown my way.  <response>: If you have been looking for a job for 2 years you need to take it. It will give you job experience that will help you get a better paying job in the future. You arent in a position to be choosy right now. My first job out of school C13 paid 35k. I was married and supporting my husband through school as well. It was tight but we did it. Youcan do it on 41k. If you have cash flow questions you can come back and ask us :
