I would honestly consider the alternatives. I'd probably take it in the end because money is good, but I'd try to flirt with manual work instead, if Java was my only option.

Eh. 150k working on Java enterprise systems vs working at Costco for 15$ an hour. Java isn't great, but it's still much easier than C or C++ imo.

In a perfect world we could all work in Python all day, but that's not life
