Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I'll never know, because I didn't become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.
What an insult. People who study software and game development should be getting jobs in insurance sales, the way they always have.
He started off planning to recruit you for a $225k a year job working on logistics software, then he checked your GitHub and the offer is what it is.
I think they want to hire you to write a Sokoban AI, and are offering 800 an hour.
it's 800 per day
"I see that you have programming and game development skills and I think that makes you perfect for picking and shipping in a warehouse."
Fuck you if you're a bit and triple fuck you if you're a human.
I keep getting those sort of emails for jobs I have absolutely no qualifications for. Usually something in the finance or healthcare industry.
Wait, would I have to actually do anything?
Pick things up and put them down, is my guess.
I mean if you think about it, programming is just picking up and putting down letters in a file.
There's a reason my mouse has buttons dedicated to copy and paste.
Punching down on game Devs a bit lmao
That is the maximum annual pay for a 0-60 h/week job.
They're looking someone with a "strong work ethic" who is passionate about being a warehouse associate and really embraces the warehouse's family-like culture.
Upvoted even though your comment created intense loathing and a little rage within me.
Game development means video games, video games means crates, and crates means warehouses. So simple that even an AI can understand.
😂
There is always a small audience who responds to this type of message, most likely outside a first world country. The problem is that they spam broadcast to everyone, of which 99.99% laughs at it and ignores it. Those who do respond are vulnerable to the scam.
Some rings promise good wages overseas, and when people buy in to the scam they end up enslaved in a warehouse overseas.
This is a low cost spam message to find more victims to fill the overseas jails filled with workers committing high tech crimes.
it was $800/hr and you missed it, schmuck!
no honestly I can't comprehend why people don't include the important parts in the actual listing, it's exhausting and pedantic.
And downright shallow as well!
I like to reply to these with tons of questions, no stone unturned. If they give a reasonable answer is likely legit. I get a bunch of these because of a resume that had all my warehouse experience on it, big mistake since I don't know who has it.
Honestly looks like a scam email because it's as little detail as possible. Did you check the email? Bet it's going to be a bunch of numbers "@gmail"
Absolutely a scam. There's about 10 common ways to bleed money out of somebody at that point. Maybe You're paying for a background check or certification. Maybe they send you a check that's too big, and you need to send them back some cash, only to find out that the check itself got reversed in your account after you mail off the money.
Famous last words of a software engineer who ends up working in a warehouse.
So you think you're too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.
Bro, maybe I don't think you should have to eat shit either.
It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of industry hiring, which is pretty depressing and toxic if you're a software engineer currently looking for work.
Statistically you're far more likely to get laid off then he is.
Not this year lol, tech has been hit hard.
Which, I mean, no one has any sympathy, those guys have been coddled and overpaid for a decade.
But yeah, this year, lots of tech layoffs.
I'm a software engineer who was recently laid off.
Oh I see. Well your anecdote completely debunks statistics that show people without degrees get laid off nearly three times as often as those that do. I kneel.
Fuckingcapitalists
Oh, I thought this was a "data warehouse" kinda joke?
does your resume include a sokoban clone?
Is it a remote position? I'd consider working in a warehouse if I didn't have to leave my home.
With something like a VR and HOTAS setup
Preferably some interface I could automate with a small shell-script 😀
I've got these emails before, almost exactly like this. I have a PhD, but sure, I guess I'm qualified for this too.
These emails never match the resume. I work at a warehouse and like the job, but I definitely wouldn't trust some random person spamming me. When I was looking for a job, some guy was trying to get me to take this really sketchy job selling phones. Thanks but no thanks.
Be mindful it also could be malicious
