<prompt> Human: I just finished my bachelors this December, living at home for free with my parents. No car, they cover health insurance. I got an interview with a great place in San Francisco aka really expensive!!, A lot of the job responsibilities are skills I dont have, that I see a TON of other jobs requiring which is a huge plus. Its a 1 year position. My only hangups about this job are money based, and I want to know I would accept the job so I can go into the interview with no reservations. I have about 10k on student loans, mostly subsidized I believe, repayment starts May. I have about 3k in savings, and I believe my parents have another account for me with probably another 5k.Im a very frugal person, really avoid spending money on basically anything not 100 needed. I think career wise this would be great experience, and Im young and dont have a lot of financial responsibilities car, mortgage, kids so it might be worth it. Id also probably get a part time job on the weekends. Am I way out of touch here? Is this actually a terrible idea? Assistant: Honestly, free housing is huge. 650 a month isnt much but Id seriously consider taking it.Human: Im not so sure. There are too many unknowns for me to say one way or another. How much is the housing hes getting really worth? What do jobs in his industry normally pay in that location? Why cant he continue to live at home for free and get a job with a higher salary?The problem is that we dont know what the typical salary for the position hes applying for is. Assistant: Im in conservation biology, which in general is a pretty poorly paying field. Unfortunately theres a ton of jobs that have a very low stipend. A lot of the good paying jobs are through the federal government, which is unfortunate because Trump is going to Institute a federal hiring freeze. So I know my employment options are going to be limited in the future, which is doubly why I want this experience.I have no idea what jobs in that area normally pay. Ive seen jobs through the federal government across the country and in between 15 to 20 an hour or anywhere between 30,000 and 60,000 a year. Ive also applied to quite a few other jobs that pay a livable salary, some of that are home so I can really save money. This job just happened to be the first one that got back to me with the interview offer  <response>: I have no idea what jobs in that area normally payIts in your best interest to find out. Use Indeed or Glassdoor or something for your expected position title and location. But I dont know enough about the field or any governmental changes that would effect the job market to comment on that.Also, if its the only place that has gotten back to you with an interview offer yet, then I can think of no reason not to go for an interview. Really it all comes down to what you really want, if youre willing to live with your parents for a while or you want out and like the sound of living in that company housing or whatever it is. At 650 a month though, it doesnt sound like there will be much room to save and do a ton of exciting things in an expensive city like San Francisco. But what do I know?
