Dilemma

[days_unfolding]

I talked to the recruiter about the job. We had a really good interview, and she said that the tech writing manager wanted to have a face-to-face interview. Then she asked what salary I was looking for, and I named a figure that was 5K less then I made on my last job. She said that the top salary for the job is 15K less than my last job, and suggested that I think about it overnight.

The thing is that I'm really interested in the job. It's less technical than other jobs that I've had, which might be good given my cognitive problems. Money is also starting to be a problem.

What you do think that I should do?

Gotta run.....

Yes, money is becoming a big issue. I've been dipping into my retirement accounts, which isn't cool, but I've needed to do so to survive. Eventually I'll run out of money.

I'm thinking that this might be a stop-gap job too. I eventually want to go to grad school and change careers, but need to support myself until I get into grad school.

And if you change careers, your salary history in some other career will be a moot point? It sounds like you might enjoy the job, can live off it's provision of income, and prepare for a new career... Just saying...
