Seriously? 78k a year to write about Esports? Are you fucking kidding me? And this is the slave labor wage?!

What the fuck am I doing with my life?

The great part is you'd be writing shit that nobody reads. Clock in, prompt chatGPT, nod through a few zoom calls, clock out.

It's usd too. Imagine working a hard labour job in Canada for only 60k aka 42k usd with unstable employment and no benefits. Wtf is with these high paying jobs being posted most likely at the expense of actually productive positions?

It's in California. That is slave labor wages.

I was severely underpaid in SF 12 years ago, at 70k, compared to my peers. The lure was that I had a lot of stock options coming in over time.

70K in SF is having to have roommates, and be familiar with ramen kits at home hehe. Irvine was about 3 to 5% cheaper, so not significantly. Although it is easier to have a car in Irvine, Cali.

Stock options were a meme in the dotcom bubble. The Simpsons even did a gag with some start-up's stock certificates dispensed on a roll like toilet paper. I don't know why people keep falling for it.

I mean, it worked out for me. Not complaining. But, yeah it's a gamble.

Unless you manage to negotiate remote work. For a do-nothing job like that, there's no need to even be in the same time zone as the main office so long as you have a minimal amount of self dicipline and can stay productive.

Keep in mind the location of employment...California. it basically is a slaves wage there as you aren't going to be affording much of anything with that pay compared to the lunacy that is the cost of living in CA
