    Headhunted

    I'm being headhunted. Another company has approached me and I'm being asked how much do they have to pay for me to go and join their startup!

    What should i ask for or Shall I now create a dozen threads about it and get banned for a week?

    Surely the question is:-

    Can I work in the UK or do I have to spend half my life in the USA?

      Careful, being headhunted causes low-level IT geeks to get hot under the collar. Expect loads of abuse.
      Hard Brexit now!

        Am also being headhunted, but to live somewhere a bit rubbish. Not sure what to do but they're offering a lot.

                Is this another fictional job?

                  Looks like it's 100% American, so that's that up the wall. I did one ridulous 20 hour day this week 4am - midnight and a 4am-10pm. As I'm waking up at 4am each night with insomnia as the go live approachs and the pressure builds I decided to say feck it and get up and work.

                  I've also put 5 people down to work two weekends out of the next 5.

                    You should work smarter not harder. It's not rocket science. Get your ducks in a row and stop going round the houses.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
