20x fcf is the definition of value? $ACN is literally paying more in dividends with like a 40% payout ratio lol

Hello everyone,
Recent graduate in Mathematical Engineering (with financial engineering, optimisation and risk courses) in Italy, where the quant world is completely inexistent.
I'm trying to start my career in quant finance leaving a Data Scientist position at ACN, I've actually arrived to many final stage of interviews but never received an offer at the end in role like QR/QD.
I've received only a graduate program offer from a small hedge fund based in London that is adding a new office in Italy. They pay is not that much and the work is not that quant, it is more credit risk related. I'm wondering if it is the right think to do to accept the offer anyway just to move out from the DS/GenAI environment that really don't personally interest me and then try to move out after few months or a year but with a new line in the CV more aligned with what I'm actually looking for.
Give me your opinion.

You can do better with ACN with a PE closer to 10

I sold holdings in CAG, INGR, ACN, DPZ all up decently today to all-in NFLX (Had 100k in it already) based on this logic, that it would do well under recessionary pressure and last item on consumer cost cutting lists.. their cashflow is good and not moving real goods (such as those I mentioned I sold) so not heavily exposed to oil pressures.. I just cant believe how bad the punishment for these ER numbers is.
