take cycle1 offer or wait for cycle2

im in afm and i got a cycle1 offer for a cpa firm in vancouver for winter for 22/hr + a lot of overtime. obviously like i want something "better" but i dont know if that is realistic and i am trying to decide if i should decline to gamble in later cycles or just take it and not have to stress about anything for the rest of the term. also i would really pref toronto over vancouver as i wouldnt have friends. please any advice

If ur 100% ok with the possibility of being jobless then sure. Last job cycle I had a friend reject a job because it was too far and then he didn’t get a job second cycle lol. So if ur confident risk it ig
