I'm currently finishing up my internship, and my employer has offered me a full-time position in DevOps. However, the salary is quite low—less than 3 LPA—even after a year of interning. They also want me to work at night sometimes, which adds to my hesitation. I'm seeking advice on whether I should accept the offer or leave the company altogether, especially since finding a junior or entry-level role in DevOps is notoriously tough and I don't have any other offers at the moment.

Honestly, if the pay is that low with no potential for growth, it’s a bit exploitative. You should definitely keep applying elsewhere and leverage your internship experience. Just remember, your time and skills are valuable! You might have to keep the job as a backup while you search for something better, though.
It sounds like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, having a job is better than no job at all, but on the other hand, accepting a position that pays so little and requires night work might not be worth it. If you're not learning and growing in the role, I'd recommend applying to other companies while keeping this job temporarily if you need the income. Your skills deserve better compensation!
Exactly! It's all about the long-term growth. Don't settle unless you're really stuck.
I've been applying for two months now but haven't heard back. It's hard to find junior roles since they often require 2-3 years of experience. Any tips for my job search?
