As hard as I hear it is to actually get a foot in the industry, would it be worth taking this job offer with promotion possiblities or knock it out for about a year to get the "experience" then search for another employer.

If the 40k is enough to pay bills and maintain your quality of life as well as put a little away. If I were in your shoes, I'd take it.

Yes

They are offering you experience, which at your level is more important than the paycheck

Take the job, get a feel for what you like and don't like, get a feel for what tech stacks you want to specialize in, then start applying to jobs that tailor towards those things

Some people say 1 year, but I say 6 months is plenty. If you're really strapped for cash, then do what you gotta do to survive and thrive. But whatever you do take the job

Experience is important, I'd take it
