So, this is a real-life thing happening to me now. I got offered a job I thought was going to be great, right as job season was winding down (the last two weeks out of six, in fact). But as it turns out, I won't be working in the city I thought I would be, and instead, would be out in the middle of Bumf*ck, Nowhere.

The recruiter had a miscommunication with me during the interview and after asking her about the location yesterday, she tried to say, "Oh, it's CLOSE to the city." Bullsh*t. 15 minutes by car with no traffic just to get to the city limits, and 45 minutes by bus is not "close" to me! I'm pissed off now because I feel deceived and was told the job would be in the city. Not forty-five-f*cking-minutes away, when I don't own a f*cking car! The city might as well be across the country, at that point.

I just finished a year at an awful job, in a city I hate, and don't want to sign another yearly contract to do that all over again. I'm not a native to this country, so my Visa is tied to whatever job I get, as well as my housing. If I don't take this job in the middle of ass-end nowhere (a town in Korea called Guri, which is the aforementioned minutes away from Seoul), I risk being in a hostel indefinitely until my Visa runs out at the end of the year, then having to go back home to the US, and deal with a potential Biden administration, which is even worse than being homeless.

I'm not getting younger and don't want to spend ANOTHER year doing crap I hate in a town I hate with nothing to do there. But since hiring season is pretty much over until March now, not taking the job means potentially not getting another one. So what would you do?
