Would you ever work 100 hours per week? (finance, wage, requirements)

[Ericthebean]

For a job that involved a lot of paperwork (I mean work work in an office setting cubical)

In a town like Dayton, Ohio or Cedar Rapids, Iowa or Meridian, Mississippi

100/hour workweek with minimum benefits

5 days off per year (sick days and/or vacation...you choose)

Salary: $42,000 gross pay. Would you take this job?
4-year finance related bachelors required
Master's Degree strongly preferred

I wouldn't want to live or work in any of those cities, and at only 40k for 100/hours a week that's only $10/hour, barely over minimum wage so no.

Waiting for OP to come back and say "this is an example of the standard of what employees are looking for nowadays"

It sounds like a joke, but honestly, not far from the truth. No employer would ever come out and dictate a 100 hour work week. But, rest assured, one you got in the job, you'd know real quick what the culture or the expectations are.

That is a joke, personally though there's really no min wage or hourly working requirements by law but as a business person I would feel embaressed to offer a position like this and feel its unethical to ask someone to put in that many hours, especially for that pay. Many people strive for a salary job as its thought of as more professional or higher paying but you really need to look at the hours your putting in. On a 9-5 mon thru friday job 40k is pretty good. If your putting in 60+ hours a week its terrible and even worse at 100.

When I first graduated from college I got a job offer 42k which was pretty good this was in the downturn in 07 and 08. Probably was I was going to be working basically from like 3am til late afternoon so long hours. Figuring the hours this came down to like $11 an hour. There's a lot of other jobs I could go get for $11 an hour.

must be kidding? Of course not

That's a joke.

You can do better working retail with less educational requirements and more days off.

"minimum benefits" better include a huge garanteed bonus.

maybe for a week, then I would drop the hours in half.
