I was callen into an interview that was supposed to pay 40,000 - 50,000 per hour full time, 40 hours per week . Executive training they said. The interview didn't go well. I'm fatter in person and my teeth are stained from coffee and cigarettes. I said bad thing about Koreans ie 11th month firings. I think that turned 'em off. A few things changed from the first communication ie 40-50 turned into 35 and the other perks were no longer available. I got picked because I'm older and I can "relate" to executives since they are older, like me. That downward pay trend is alot of money. $15,000 and they got real casual with it, thats how they negotiate. Turns out is all illegal, all privates. I'm no boy scout on things illegal but I demand good opsec. They didn't seem to have much. they didn't seem to have the steel balls required for clandestine activity. Anyway, thats the story of how I blew my $70,000 a year ESL job.

Sounds like bait and switch. You wouldn't want to be working 40 hours of privates anyway. The commutes would kill you.

Paji, I'm not here for fun anymore. I want a good year. I'd work from 8AM to 10PM for a $70,000 tax free year provided I didn't collapse.
