   It does make sense to me. How much do they make on small transactions and how much does human intervention cost? These firms have tons of internal overhead too. A customer with 100mm is possibly only 10x as hard to serve as one with 100k.

   Any field that produces only one metric will find people optimizing on it. Eventually the metric loses it's value. This is true in teaching, programming, and most everything. Life's not so one dimensional.

    Sometimes the overtime is implicit in the rate. If you joint a sweatshop that pays 100K, you know going in that it's not $50/hour for 2000 hours, it's more like $40/hour for 2500 or $33.33 for 3000. It's not unpaid, it's built into the ex

    If not having the right credentials were the issue, they would not have wasted their time or yours to begin with. It has to be another reason. Companies usually don't provide feedback for several reasons. One is they don't want word to ge
