      Almost certainly, they’re counting on their “audits” consisting of a script that looks for “$500 per week” in the descriotion to confirm that they’re posting ads.

    Amateurs. Just call the weekly fee tuition, the position a research assistant, and the company a university and they are all set.

      Apparently this was some sort of job posting “experiment” from a couple of years ago.

      Hungary unofficially have pay for internship positions thanks to extremely corrupt HR departments, and internship time mandates from colleges. Basically it ruined my dream of getting a college degree, because at my age especially, it would have cost me a small fortune.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    I wonder if this job is targeted to a specific person so that the person it’s for will apply, but no one else will

    Besides the obvious ripoff, is there some sort of fraudulent or tax reason why they would make the employee pay for it?
