A most of the time Japanese>English game translator and writer and all the time dating sim wonk.
love to get offered a third to a fifth of what i can already get paid hourly writing and translating stuff from scratch to grade the robots on their plagiarized homework they're doing to try and replace me
linkedin is such a toxic dump these days if you work as a freelance translator, it's truly a thing of beauty
the "bachelor's degree (completed or in progress)" bit is particularly harrowing. granted, I'm not sure if it's atypical to allow in-progress degrees as qualification -- but it comes off rather like "we're searching for young people who just don't know any better!", in this case
Yeah, that one made me crack up, too. It's not unheard of for actual translation agencies to waive a degree requirement if you're natively bilingual and/or can demonstrate sufficient skill and experience, but this definitely reeks of exploitation more than anything else. I've never seen wording quite like that on any legitimate listings in the decade and change I've been doing this, that's for sure!
