Going through a rough phase after being laid off

Hi Grapeviners,

My previous company laid me off and they have mentioned it in the relieving letter as well. I have got another offer from TCS, but they have reduced my expected CTC to almost half of what I was getting previously after I have shared by relieving letter with them. The reason that they quoted was you were laid off so we don’t want to hire such candidates. I am barely getting any other interview calls as well. Apart from that all my savings have exhausted and TCS is asking me to join the next week. Should I join TCS and leave them after few months once I find a better job? Because they are paying me much less here, and I have liabilities as well.. I couldn’t sustain in this less salary. And all my savings are almost over due to my own illness in the last few months. Will the previous company know that I have left TCS in just few months? In case if I don’t mention TCS in my resume and show all those months as year gap?
