This question can have vastly varying, subjective answers. For example, a person in my demographic might not have the luxury to turn down a job offer. The first demographic being a recent grad. Many recent graduates have a dream job they would love to have and usually have an action plan to get there. However, for many graduates, the first couple steps is to just find a job in the field of which their dream job is located in; or in simple terms taking whatever they can get. For example, jobs in research and development are harder to get as a recent grade, therefore a person can start by getting a job in quality or manufacturing and gaining experience to apply for that research job. The second reason and biggest reason why a person like me might not have the luxury is that I am an international student or F1 student from Canada. Many internships and job positions refuse to sponsor students. This can be tough because a recent grad can be very qualified and have an impressive resume, but due to their status in the country cannot; have a very difficult time taking the first steps to gaining the experience. Therefore, I would not turn down a job in medical devices due to the status of the company. Once I do have the work experience where companies are more willing to sponsor, then my answer would be a yes.
