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?
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.
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
bullshit job in irvine? this is probably an asian woman. cant make your FOB gamer-girl harem with White dudes
edit: really esports is a good insight into what a stupid scam this indian immigration is. Korea produces top players and still finds time to make cars and chips to export. Indians occasionally produce someone good at chess? They dont export any technology or even someone good at starcraft. If these importers were serious in any way they would be rescuing every korean they can from maplestory before importing a single indian
They obviously don't want to hire a straight white men (who will do the best job at this). Instead they need a DEI hire and the local talent are too toxic and lazy
There's a shortage of dudes who want to serve as a sock puppet for other people's opinions on video games, sure.
The problem with white dudes, and the reason they're trying to replace them, is they tend strongly to speak their mind regardless of what anyone else thinks.
You can't just write about games, you gotta write it in Blizzard approved ways in a Blizzard company setting while also actually being autistic enough to care about and notice all the little technical details needed to comment on things esports guys want to know.
So one requires being ultra Progressive and feministy, while the other requires a high tier autist who could not manage that facade.
Also, Blizzard Esports has been an unstable and volatile sector of their company literally since its inception. OWL was the only time it vaguely had success and that was being literally gorged with investments to prop it up. This is a job that might last you a few months to a year at best.
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.
Same!
Fuck. I work a lot harder, for significantly less.
*grumbles*

Indians hiring Indians

I mean, it worked out for me. Not complaining. But, yeah it's a gamble.
I was about to say the same.

Can you imagine how bad it would be if Indians played multiplayer games online? We'd forget about Brazilians immediately.
I never thought i'd miss the day when turks were the online menace.
Let's not say things we can't take back.
Bitch lasagna.
In fairness, there probably would be a lot more real misogyny if that happened.
Zeny plzzz.
br br br br br hue hue hue hue
Hahaha.
Shortage of White dudes who removed their balls to write the way THEY want.
78k/year that's 6.5k a month.
Average Irvine CA cost of living.
$1.2k monthly expenses and $2.5k rent
Leaving you with $2.8k.
Sounds good on paper until you get sick in USA.
1.2k monthly expenses…LOL
Considering the amount of used needles and feces, I'd be willing to bet that getting sick is a higher liklihood.
Unfortunately, you're off by about 23%. 78k a year is 6.5k a month before taxes. 78k base in Irvine will be:
Take home will be about 59.7k or 5k a month.
So $1k leftover for insurance, savings and hobbies. Is that good for USA or not really?

I thought Vdare was dead??? Are they back?
And.. these companies will tell you how expensive it is to develope games and justify 70 dollar full priced games that has cash shop + battle pass.
Plus, fuck whoever downvoted me a month or two ago when i say elon musk is retarded for playing a woke ass game like diablo 4.
