CableZL 03/03/22 9:36:24 AM #11:	Not for $17/hour. I'd have to be desperate to accept that salary at this point in my career. I was, however, close to going to work for Amazon back in 2018. My job kept me on as a contractor for 2 years. I got a call from a recruiter at Amazon for a full time network engineering position with them. Within about 30 minutes of that phone call, the company I was working for had me start the process of becoming full time, so I decided to turn Amazon down. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:963130588] in Would you ...
