Disclaimer , I don ' t know anything about the chip industry . Nor do I know the specifics of your situation . That said , I ' d take the job . There ' s no such thing as a nonvolatile job anymore . Just the reality of things since the recession . It ' s very competitive out there . You ' ve gotta take opportunities as they come . Working for an industry leader like AMD will look great on your resume , even if it ends up being short term . Plus they seem to be a good place to work . Mostly positive reviews on Glassdoor . <| sep |> Here ' s the catch for me , if using all our resources , such as coal , fossil fuels and etc , heavily contributed to innovation , economic prosperity and importantly , funding towards space projects , would that not be a more worthy goal compared to stagnating economic growth by forcing counties to use inefficient green power ? Nuclear power being the obvious exception
