I hate when I question my decisions. However, the LAST thing I want is to end up in yet another job that I feel I must quickly leave.
I want to land somewhere good and for many years to come. And for this job, I saw several employee reviews talking about how poorly they treat junior employees, how you have to work many late nights and how the company barely contributes to medical insurance, taking it mostly out of your paycheck. The role also is a new position in the company, and I've done that once before, which turned out to be a nightmare for me. I don't want a role that is new to the company. I want one where the path has already been paved, and I want other SEO experts around me, or at least one, so that I can continue to learn from others. I don't want to be the solo SEO person in a whole company. They also changed the job description, AFTER I had already interviewed with HR, so they were molding the job AS they interviewed people. I don't like that.

Sounds like you made a logical and wise decision not to try for that job. No need to question it. And gosh I know people who don't worry if they have no interviews for a month, let alone a week. I know it's not easy but as you say, you want something for the long-term and thus trying for any job that comes along may not be the best decision. But it's so difficult right now because you are suffering from losing your job and from financial pressure that it's hard to trust your instincts. Hang in there - I do believe you will find something worthy.
