Temp jobs are necessary at times but also can be a trap that covers you like a warm blanket blinding you from what your value is in the marketplace. Taking the first offer because the interview process is horrible is the easy route many of us take. Passing up lower valued offers probably means you are misreading the market or applying in the wrong market.

Oh, agreed -- I am not suggesting one take the first job. I went through six months of interviews before taking this particular job. I am only saying, don't discard all jobs because they are not the job. Be open to new avenues. I didn't take the job at a bank for example, because, first or not, it wasn't a fit at all.
