  4. I’ve seen a job posting for a graduate game dev to work in NI for €10,000 salary per year and another job was going for €250-€300 wage per day for heaps of work and insane start times as well

  5. Someone took all the worst things about Facebook and put them with the most soul destroying aspects of work and created LinkedIn.

  6. Yes. My read the company name as Kardashian for some reason. That’s how brain dead from job searching I was at the time. So it didn’t click with me at the time how weird it was

  7. I’m assuming it’s as a contractor. You’d have to deduct your taxes and related costs from that 6200 a month. Contractors are well paid but there is zero job security and a lot more is expected. I done it in my field of work for a while, it’s a headache but very well paid, I was getting €460 a day which would be about 10k a month but I walked away with much less.

  8. It’s probably one of those things like you see on Instagram where it is technically possible to earn that much but you have to be online 23 hours a day completing surveys

  9. There are some things to bear in mind about attractive contractor rates.

    Having worked as a contractor, I reckon your daily contract rate should be at least 20% over what you’d get as a permanent employee. So if you’d be getting a €1000/week as a permanent employee, your daily rate as a contractor should be, at the very least, €240 (€1200/week).

    Contractor’s typically can’t bill for annual leave, public holidays and sick days -and those days add up (at least 25 a year) – so instead of billing for 52 weeks a year (1,200×52=62,400), you’ll likely only bill for 46 or 47 weeks (55,200 to 56,400), which means you’re only 3 or 4 grand better off than a permanent employee (52,000) but with none of the job security.
