Testers? For what kind of software??? A QA engineer, yeah, that sounds
right, but I was offered a testing job in Alameda (for testing
Japanese software, which not everyone can do) for the princely sum of
$12/hr.
Needless to say, I didn't take it. (It might have been good
experience, but it would take me about an hour and a half during rush
hour to get there from where I live.)
