Ethical Dilemma: Taking a Lower-Level Job When Others Are Struggling to Find Work

  • Resumen

  • Listener Question: Is it ethical for me to accept a job that's one or two layers below the job I had before all of the layoffs when so many other people are also struggling to land a job?


    Let’s tackle a listener's question about the ethics of accepting a job below their previous level during these mass layoffs.

    First, I share why my answer is a strong, unequivocal “YES.” Then I share additional insights from a variety of women across the tech industry.

    Key takeaways:

    • It's not your responsibility to fix systemic issues caused by corporate decisions.
    • There's no shame in taking a job to pay your bills while building your brave career.
    • Accepting a role below your previous level can offer benefits like reduced stress and a chance to reset your mindset.
    • We must have the security and maturity to celebrate each other's successes in landing a job during these tough times.
    • Use the reality that every role is temporary and you can embrace the opportunity to rediscover joy at a different level.
