I'm really conflicted right now about what to do and I'd really appreciate your guys' advice. I just graduated with my BA in Econ, applied to a analyst position at a bank in the same town where my college was and got an offer. The thing is, I don't really want to go back to that town and live there again. It's a small town with not much to do--it's ok when you're in college and there are a bunch of other people your age, but I'd be the youngest person at the bank by about a decade and none of my friends are going to be living there either. I'm afraid of becoming socially isolated and lonely. I'd much rather find a job in a big city on one of the coasts where there are tons of other young people and where I'll at least already have a few friends. On the other hand, after constantly hearing for the last four years about how lovely the economy is and how jobs are so hard to come by, I'm tempted to just take what I can get. Who knows when I'll be able to even get another interview? Maybe I should just count myself lucky that I even got an offer and seize the opportunity. Any thoughts on what I should do? Has anybody else been in a similar situation?

I just got a job offer from Amazon for a temp position. They want my expected hourly salary. How should I approach this? Should I just get the annual salary for the fulltime position from Glassdoor and divide by 2000 hours?

I divided by 2000 and asked for $35/hour. It's not a warehouse job, if that's what you were thinking of.

Will I put myself at any major disadvantages if I start out my post-college career life with maybe a couple years of temp jobs? I just graduated this year and got hired as a temp at Amazon, where I'm making far more money than I think I would make in any non-temp position. I also love being hourly and getting time-and-a-half overtime, which would vanish with a salaried position. I believe I'm covered under my mother's insurance until I'm 25 and I don't really mind not having PTO (at least so far). No 401k matching, but I don't think 2 years without that will make a huge difference, will it? I guess my main question is, will temp positions hamstring my future hiring potential?
