      That link markdown doesn’t work here (common issue, I think it should parse/convert it anyway). Description of what y’all do? Who are ya?

      1k per month for a 2 month onboarding phase? Are you serious?

      Nothing about this sounds even remotely legit, no company name, fwdconsulting.org doesn't resolve.

      Flagging.

        It's worse than that: $500-$1k a month range for onboarding. Definitely not legal.

          Software jobs are going to face total structural repricing. This is price discovery.

          Why is it not legal? I think it is higher than the national minimal wage.

            500-1000 per month. 6 grand a year is well below the poverty level.

            For a job with these kind of requirements, it’s madness. Clearly some kind of fraud.

        This is very very shady. I feel like doing an investigation on this company.
