dilemma is real

Final year undergrad here (Tier3). Have applied to over 800 places (offcampus) as of now, but no luck. I happen to grab an offer oncampus which is of 4lpa with 2 years of bond. Now im skeptical about it, whether or not to join it. also im kinda desperate for some bucks in my bank. Any suggestions on what steps i should take?

PS: have grinded LC moderately. Except for Graphs and DP (Below are the topics ive covered) Array ,String ,Sorting ,Two Pointers ,Stack ,Matrix ,Linked List ,Simulation ,DFS ,BFS ,Binary Search ,Hash Table ,Tree ,Greedy ,Math ,Backtracking

In my opinion, you should take the offer. In the current economic climate, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. Your first job is about gaining experience, not making big bucks. The bond may seem daunting, but it's a small price for a sure shot at starting your career. And remember, no job is beneath you when you're starting out.

but wouldnt it be a major setback. I mean all my future salaries will be based on my first one. (Unless jumping to big techs)

Currently, all salaries are based on 0, so always a good idea to take what you have.

Google the word abscond ... It might come in handy some day

If u r a good candidate... A will realise that u can join a good paying start-up and it won't matter to them. I have a couple of seniors in WITCH companies and when they found the right fit they took their chances
