first, sorry to hear your job got yoinked

#

second, it's crazy you were able to get a second offer in such a turbulent market

#

i saw your website - it's actually really nice

#

since your options are unemployment or this hardware role, i'm going to say take the hardware role (exp is exp, collect some paychecks)

#

you can keep recruiting if you want and leave the company after ~6 months or something

#

i don't think it hurts your chances of getting jobs in the future

because again, the alternative is nothing, like being unemployed adds no value

#

at least working adds some value to your resume

#

ah okay yeah that ddoes make sense

Agree with everything chrispy said, congrats on bouncing back. Dont take that hardware role for granted in this economy

#

gotcha sound good

#

yeah i was just thinking b/c of all my interviews recently, they always ask me like the question "if you had to choose backend or frontend what would you choose and why" and like i was afraid that future employers wouldn't like such spread out tech stack if that makes sense

#

more diversity in exp isn't a bad thing

#

also, like i said

#

what was the alternative?

#

being unemployed?

#

that just does nothing for you lol

runic oracle
#

that is a good point lol

#

i guess speaking on that then, all my interviews they always ask me like what i prefer, (in a trick question manner) and I usually just say frontend / backend depending on what i think they me to answer

#

how should i answer this? am i thinking too hard

#

i usually say like backend for reasons like i can learn a lot more about design, infrastructure, architecture, and scalability ...

#

and for frontend i usually say like new technologies always coming out... get to learn new things constantly ...

#

am i overthinking this lol
