Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rudy's best choice would be to look for another applications developer job in San Jose that pays $100,000 or more per year, as this would provide the most similar income and job security to his previous job. While accepting any job that offers $100,000 or more per year may be tempting, it is not necessarily the best option as it may not provide the same level of job satisfaction or career growth opportunities. Similarly, accepting a job in any software firm in any part of the country may not be feasible or desirable for Rudy, as he may not have the necessary connections or familiarity with other locations. Accepting a lower paying software applications developer job would not mitigate his damages as effectively.
