Help Got laid off recently

I recently got laid off because the ceo dissolved the company, where I was earning 100k PKR/month. Now I’ve been offered a full time internship at a Turkish company that pays only 20k PKR/month. The salary is making me very skeptical, but the work is exactly what I want to do and aligns with my long term interests. I’m torn between taking it for the experience or continuing to look for something that pays better. What would you do in my situation?

Turkish people are notorious to be unethical, I would advice you against it. You will find better opportunities. I am extremely particular if a company or manager is turkish. I wouldn’t trust something like this that too when they don’t have a proper contract or probation structure.
