I've been looking for part-time work for awhile now, and did this interview. They advertised WFH, but during interview they said they're from my own city. Now they like my work but want me to work 6 days a week, for 7 hours. The pay would definitely be an increase, but the travelling would take away much of it.
Just to put some context: I'm a graduate and will continue studying. However there's no work in the industry for which I'm studying, so I work with a different skill. I'm in India, the company has accepted me for an internship position and paying ₹10k (roughly $126). Traveling 6 days a week for a month would require me to spend 3 hours everyday on the road and around ₹5k.
The company has agreed to help me balance my work and studies, but they also insisted it's impossible to work from home. They also declined a pay bump because this is an internship. They also repeatedly focused on how they want people who want to learn. I'm not sure if the condescending tone I perceive is in my head or not.
Now I'm not sure if it'll be worth it. I've been looking for two months now but every job opportunity I get wants me to give up studying and work full time at very nominal pay.
