2 Years work experience and a Bachelors for 40-50k(lets be less than generous and suggest that the value of the rent is only 500 dollars/month)? Not too bad. Edit: I mean so long as you don't already have a job. Their qualification list isn't high though the responsiblities they're asking seem a bit high considering what they want the other two doing.

they'd be better off hiring a team of 2 guys for 30k a year and make the GM in charge of the team. one in charge of outward communication and organization, one doing the books.

They probably don't have the money for it, that's why they're trying to leverage their shit pay with the Esports DREAM.

the qualified people won't do it for that money and the people who would aren't qualified.

40k annually for doing the entirety of CLGs actual functional backend. all of the finances all of communication with legal teams and store personel. and then being expected to help with promo stuff and managing the team in addition to that. is a lot of work. that's not much. people with that much responsibility are executives in other companies.

But qualified people could live the ESPORTS DREAM!!!
It wouldn't be a bad job to take as an insane resume booster if you don't mind shooting yourself in the foot for a couple of years. If you could successfully fulfill the responsibilities it'd look really favorably if you applied for a much higher paying position later on. But that's a lot of "if's". Not worth imo.

thats kind of why i think they'd be better served dropping 10 grand more a year on a second person to split the work. give them both high level experience in the field out of college and paying them livable amounts. with that kind of thing on you resume you could skip a few rungs on the corporate ladder afterwards.

I kinda agree with this. You could probably get two college grads with a year of relevant experience each for 50-60k who are willing to bust their ass for you in exchange for the experience.

Sounds like people are surprised here that a startup (eSports isn't really different from poorly managed startups, except that these startups usually go bust before securing series A whereas the power of ESPORTS can carry idiots for quite some time) is seeking extremely well qualified candidates for positions that they can underpay.

But maybe you'll also get paid in CLG equity, in which case your premium is 50-100k of forgone salary for the opportunity to get millions.

$35~45k is decent pay, but not if you're gonna require 2 years of professional work experience. That's like...straight out of undergrad pay scale.

People with that level of experience will be willing to join startups for low pay if they believe that said startup will lead to bigger and better things. As much as Esports is growing, the risk is still extremely high and most likely not worth it. On top of that, CLG isn't exactly a new startup anymore. They've been around for at least 4 years and if this is all they can offer after four years, it doesn't speak well to their growth/past management.
