Hi dear people can you help me? which is correct:

Complete:

Unless they offer her a really low salary, she�s going to take the job.
If they offer her a really low salary, she�s going to take the job.

Which one sounds logical to you.
Thanks

Definitely #1:) Who would want to work for a really low salary?
Note: unless=if not
In other words, if they don �t offer=unless they offer her a really low salary, she �s going to take the job. She�ll take the job only if they don�t offer her a low salary.

Hi there!

 I guess both sentences are incorrect. They should sound better if you say.

-If they offer her a low salary, she won �t take/accept the job.
-Unless they offer her a good salary, she won �t take/accept the job.

Hope it might help.

Courteous,
