I’d say accept what you are comfortable with. If it’s a week from
now, you can probably afford to be pickier on where you accept a job
from.
If you are still looking 3 months from now, and get a job offer, it
would likely be in your best interest to accept it.
As long as you do not sign a contract specifying you’ll work there
for a year, or whatever, you can always decline the job later, or
quit after you find a better job.
With the economy what it is, I would not personally turn anything
down, even if it’s slightly less money- less money is still more
than no income.
