Worst Pay Per Job Out There

Recently came across a LinkedIn posting for this job as a trading intern and was absolutely astonished by the pay compared to the requirements. 

For an astounding $15/hr, applicants are required to:

  • Work in-person in New York
  • Pursuing an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Financial Engineering, Data Science or another closely related field
  • Possess strong Python programming skills, familiarity with Pandas and Numpy is highly desirable, knowledge of C++ is a plus
  • Have experience with handling large data sets, and extreme attention to detail
  • Good communication skills
  • Legal authorization to work in US

The craziest thing is it has over 150 applicants.
