Besides the obvious tipoff, is there some sort of fraudulent or tax reason why they would make the employee pay for it?
Maybe so you can hire people from overseas?
Literally paying to work
I get that the glib answer will be “so they can make money”
But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.
That people would be so excited to “get their foot in the door of th prompt engineering job market” that theyd pay for the opportunity
Someone posted above that this was from a couple years ago and done as a test to see who would respond to this type of ad sort of thing.
They finally found a way to make money off of AI
As always:
Cross posting this to shitty million dollar ideas. This is the kind of out of the box thinking that we need to increase corporate profits and pump up those numbers. You are a real go getter here. good job.
Is this…
Violence?
No, but it’s something similar. It’s stupid.
Unless there’s actual hidden value here (possible), it’s more like joke. Chickens rarely cross the road and they’re not getting paid.
Just put me through 4 years of a paid training position instead of University already. Finding a job has been shit because of lack of experience.
Its also shit with experience. Just apply to literally everything and hope something in the salary range you want reaches out.
Getting really nervous when my office computer sign-on keeps prompting me to enter my credit card information.
Please report for organ harvesting on Thursday at nine.
But it’s casual dress, and there’s a pizza party afterward!
Scheduling conflict. Can we do chloroform at lunch instead?
Sorry, your insurance doesn’t cover that, so it would have to be out of pocket.
Bring a cashier’s check for $7,400 to lunch and we’ll take care of the rest! ❤️
Sounds illegal.
Everytime I hear about the need to pay to do a job, my mind immediately jumps to pyramid scheme.
If you need to pay for something, it is a huge red flag.
Does whatever country this is posted from not have a minimum wage? Screenshot says USA, I thought they did have one?
Yes, but since volunteering is a thing, they may think they’re in the clear. Doubt they are though.
The fact that I’m wondering if it serious or a joke, is worrisome…
It’s definitely a joke or some sort of weird art statement, the only thing that bothers me is that I once got my decade-old account banned from LinkedIn for posting a job that they decided was discriminatory because it had a language requirement, and yet somehow this has passed their filters?
You say definitely but it could be serious. In China there are people who pay to work, to avoid being « flagged » as unemployed, which apparently is worse than paying for a fake job.
The successful candidate
Just change your company name to be [actual company name] dba AI Prompt Engineer College, call this a class, done.
Apply just to not pay and have the position terminated
This is two years old if not older. Why is this popping up here?
Because it’s still funny
bots
I’ve seen this meme before, therefore it is inconveniencing my internet experience and that is against the rules!
OH MY GOD I SAW SOMETHING OLD!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!
