Job Opportunity, but could it hurt me in the long run

[Anarky]

So I just got an email this afternoon from a Web Design position I applied for wanting to schedule a phone interview with me. I knew the company had to do with adult entertainment (Porn). Porn doesn't bother me and it could be an interesting work experience to say the least. But I couldn't help but think what happens when I eventually look for work again and I have to explain the position, needless to say I couldn't really use anything on my portfolio since it wouldn't be work safe.

I'm going to interview and see how it goes, but what do you guys think?

If you think you can honestly pitch the experience in a positive way when you move on to another career, sure.

If you really think it will hurt your career long term, I would stay clear.

I personally took a chance in my career and it paid off big. But it wasn't the type of chance that could prevent me from being marketable.

If you really need the job, it's a tough choice. If you don't, I personally would pass. This seems like the type of job that, if you take it, could pigeon hole you long-term.

I'm gonna need to see that portfolio to form an opinion here I'm afraid.

I'm sure the internet market is a forgiving place, especially since most internet content is....drumroll please...porn. You can always leave some of the racier things out of your portfolio when it comes time to moving on.

I worked in online gambling for four years. It's a similarly stigmatised industry but the experience did not hurt my career at all.

Everybody uses porn, and the Internet community in general is not ashamed of it. Unless your next job is to design some church web site, I don't think it would hurt your resume. Also, they make a lot of money, so they probably pay well and have nice benefits.
