However, I am in a dilemma whether it might be better not to be so picky and accept a slightly worse option in order to get out of here as soon as possible?

Oh Come on @9zcs+1eYsul9Q. That's a risk you take under normal market circumstances, ANY time you make a job change. That's why you personally need to be responsible for the vetting process, ask good questions and do your homework. The rationale is weak at best.
I understand the logic of downgrading your salary/title to go from a hostile-low-morale work environment into a great one. BUT WHAT IF...
Your new great work environment becomes like the previous one. Then you are left with same work situation as your previous WITH A DOWNGRADED SALARY/TITLE.
I left and took a much lower paying job almost %30 less, but damn do I feel good when I go home and don’t wake up absolutely dreading going in to work and I really liked my job when I hired on, but wokeness and the politics of my department ruined what was pretty much my dream job. And it all started really going downhill after the merger.
When I hear you say you want to get out of here as “soon as possible”, it makes me wonder what’s the driving force behind that statement. If you’re experiencing a toxic environment like I am, and many others around ma, and you’re receiving an offer where the environment may be better and give you solid opportunities to grow both personally and professionally, the pay difference may be worth that alone. I will tell you that I am also struggling with the same scenario. My environment is so degrading it has affected how I feel about my confidence to do my job. I have been applying to jobs that I am very well qualified to do and have received either thank you but no, or no response at all. Several of my Raytheon partners who have left the company are making less than they were at Raytheon but are in such a better working environment that the personal pay off far exceeds the financial one. Only you can make the best decision for you. I wish you the best of luck. I wish all of us the best of luck.
In short, if you can't draw a direct line to how your job makes RayTurd money then you don't matter to them. REPEAT. If you can't draw a direct line to how your job makes RayTurd money then you don't matter to them. I had the one honest HR person in the entire country tell me that. I actually respected him for that, and I hope he is doing well.
Making money includes (but is not limited to) patents, inventions, winning contracts, DIRECTLY showing large operations costs savings from your efforts, etc. etc.
It sounds like from the post your itching to leave. While your financial well-being is important, your mental health is too. If you're starting to lose patience, and leave the workplace upset, it's time to leave...period. Take the lower-paying job and ride it out for a couple of years. Hopefully, you don't have to physically move to do so.
Raytheon is a tu-d. Circling the bowl thanks to Hayes. RTX is going bye bye...
From the quarterly earnings call yesterday if your on the rtx side whether in RMD or RIS, their numbers weren’t super great last year, both businesses were down due to COVID. That said though, unless we sell them off they can’t meet government demand without employees and with the altercations going on internationally there will likely be more business in 2022, not less. At the same time though I think it depends what kind of role your in, if it’s not business critical, now may be the time to jump ship, but maybe not too. There have been tons of rumors swirling and they are just that, rumors. I haven’t seen not one that is backed up by an actual source or announcement made by someone in a leadership position. Never forget some people find enjoyment in making others sweat so not all rumors are coming from something real, probably most aren’t actually
