How can I get one of these jobs? Important detail I’m not rich.
Seems like a low skill job.
Quick answer this one question.
You are given a button that upon pressing kills 100,000 people. The button does nothing else.
Do you press the button?
Of course not. Why would I risk limiting our market share that way?
I demonstrate synergy and the ability to run an agile ship by instead outsourcing development of an app charging 1,000,000,000 people $15 monthly for the privilege of pressing the button and posting that they weren't it this month.
Then I press it, because we must make sure our actions align with increasing shareholder value.
Sir, please wait by the door for your hummer limo straight to the upper crust.
And if no, how much money would it take to get you to push the button?
No… No, why would I do something like that?
Ahh, see you have a conscience. Sorry you're not billionaire material.
I would have accepted:
"Yes, for the mere thrill of it"
"Yes, they deserve it"
"Yes"
"No, that isn't nearly enough"
"Yes, it's my right"
