Go to Google, build your resume and get more experience under your belt. Save up. Then chase your dreams via your own startup or another that you're passionate about and have a little cushion. If things go awry, rinse and repeat.

Thanks for the advice. Again - worth waiting for the position I want (potentially a long shot) or getting my foot in the door (and potentially transferring)?

Obviously I don't know all the details but you've got two disparate but important things to take into consideration here:

(1) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. To have the job now even though it's not exactly what you want is important for the aforementioned reasons. Not to mention the possibility of transfer. I would lean this way.

(2) HOWEVER, I am the type of person who won't shine unless I'm doing what I love and am passionate about. If you are the same and think that might have a hinderance on your performance then hold off. If you have the discipline to buckle down even though you don't like your job then refer back to #1. By judging your opportunities, I would surmise you have the discipline that I lack.

Good luck.

Again, thanks. Definitely something to think about. I very much to have the capacity to 'buckle down' and do something that isn't my number one priority, if it has the potential to pay off in the future. At this point, thanks to your comments, I'm leaning to just applying for both positions and just seeing what happens.

Email me in the future if you want any advice (in profile). I'm interning at LivingSocial in DC right now and love the hell out of it.
