I have learned my lesson. Ultimately it boils down to how much money you take home. Every job provides you valuable experience if you know how to highlight it in your resume. Learn those tricks.

This. A couple of years ago, I turned down a more senior, better paying position because I was afraid that if I accepted it, I'd be pigeon-holed professionally. I took a job that actually paid less and was more junior, but offered me greater professional growth opportunity. I have zero regrets since it has since paid off, m'A.

I recently met the man who offered me the higher paying job and would have been my reporting manager - today, he's my counterpart.

Would I do the same thing today? No - because now it's no longer about the experience, it's about career advancement.

So if I had a choice.......Less money , more valuable experience but miserable hours VS More money , cushy job , average experience potential , I should opt for the latter ? ***
