This seems fishy about this article:
He is making 45,000 rubles ($700) for a 12 hours shift in Saint Petersburg. With his English knowledge skills alone he can easily make double that money just by working as a translator in a regular 8 hour job.
- _dark_matter_ 12y agoDid you read the article? He got the job purely to have the job, not for the monetary compensation. He described it as "adventurism".
- usaphp 12y agoYeah sure, working two month in 12 hours shifts just for adventurism. Either he is a spy or this story is a complete joke
- Squarel 12y agoIts 2 on, 2 off. 2 months in 12h shifts working 4 days a week is not that bad.
- usaphp 12y ago45,000 per month in Saint Petersburg is a low paying job salary, this job however requires basic computer knowledge and from what I understand english knowledge as well to post comments on western websites.
- burger_moon 12y agoNo, 45k ruble is for non-English speaking people to post on Russian municipality websites.
- usaphp 12y agoits still an underpaid position for somebody who knows basic computers in Saint Petersburg
- nakedrobot2 12y agoIt would be straight out of a Philip K. Dick novel that this guy is not really a troll, but he's a fake troll, and the article itself is the troll :)
- prof_hobart 12y agoAs it's coming from Radio Free Europe - an organisation who's founding purpose was pretty much to provide pro-Western information/propaganda (delete as applicable) to Eastern Europe, it's not exactly improbable that this is at least partly a troll article.
