<prompt> Human: Recent college grad here Math major. Living in San Francisco, Ive been interning for a few months at a startup and gaining experience in business operations and data analytics. My internship will be ending in a few weeks so I have been applying to full time positions at other companies for data analyst positions, with no responses yet. My boss just offered me a full time position at the company, with an hourly rate that is at or slightly below what it costs for me to live paycheck to paycheck. I have about 25,000 saved from my old job that I can keep myself afloat on, but obviously it is not ideal to be in a position where my accounts are staying flat or gradually decreasing.My question is how to handle the situation in a way that doesnt burn bridges, I would like to accept the offer since I have no other options at the moment, but its also possible to land a higher paying position soon and I dont think its cool to walk out after one month of being full time. My boss told me that the rate is what the company can afford, and I believe him - so I dont see significant room for negotiation. I dont have many expenses to cut - I live in the cheapest studio I could find and the majority of shared rooms are not significantly cheaper than what I am paying now. My parents have been subsidizing my rent while Im interning but that will end on January 1st.  <response>: It is never bad form to look for better opportunities.You should always be looking for better employment.
