Should you take a low-paying job as your first job in tech, just to gain experience?
A question from the livestream chat asked about a sensitive circumstance where they were unemployed and offered an entry-level role for barely enough money to pay for living expenses. They asked me whether they should take the job, or keep looking for something. Knowing your value in the industry is critical, no matter where you live, or what your circumstances are. You need to advocate for yourself, and to negotiate for fair market value.
