A job doing what you would love to do, and you would get the highest wages possible, but the requirement would be living in the frozen tundra for 2 years. Could you do it? Little sunlight and freezing cold, nothing but snow and ice 8 months out of the year. A hypothetical question, as winter is beginning to get on my nerves. Just tell me why you could or could not do it.

Heck yes. It is only 2 years. Plus it would give me a great reference to use on my resume. Then once my uber high paying job ended I could buy a house. It would get old really fast but knowing it's temporary would be easy to swallow. How about a long tropical vacation once it is all finished?

ok - it is the way it fairly works...I used to paintings in HR and grow to be the guy that made and negotiated the supplies to people. at the same time as it says 40 5-55....55 is tops...they couldn't furnish you any higher than that for this actual interest. hence, in the adventure that they initiate you at 55, the in trouble-free terms way that you'll get a enhance is through promoting which isn't continually plausible. frequently, will enhance come from evaluate time. in case you do not meet one hundred% of the skills, that signifies that there continues to be turning out to be room for you and it does no longer make experience that they offer you the region at $55K. To be honest, they could prob get some different person that is basically as qualified and get him/her for the cost they prefer to initiate the pay at when you're not any further going to take the interest. i'd say that you're negotiable. Then they are going to ask you the way a lot you at the moment make and also you'll tell them. at the same time as telling them your modern earnings, do not inflate the quantity too a lot because in the adventure that they are in HR....they understand interest salaries and understand when you're bs-ing.

If it was for a lot of money, I could do it. There aren't a lot of things to spend your money on when you do jobs like that, so its a perfect chance to save for buying a home or starting a business when you go back home.

I can't stand the cold either. The coldest place I ever went to was Wisconsin, and I spent a month there. I grew up in the South, and couldn't wait to go home. All that snow and the cold was depressing. But, I wasn't getting paid a huge sum of money to stay there either. If I was, I am sure I could have gotten used to it.

I'm a contractor, have worked in many places from the southernest parts of Africa to the northenest parts of Norway, where the snow is so deep at times that it's higher than the street-lighting - when these guys wake up they have to decide what tyres to put on their cars depending on the weather. The Norwegians have a saying: "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing".
You get used to it - and in summer, the sun NEVER sets - it's froody.

this question is far too leading.

if the job was something you love to do and it is only in the frozen tundra, it's very likely to be something you'd of thought about when you got interested in that type of job in the first place. bottom line is that if you doing a job you love to do and are getting paid very well to do it, when you are done your 2 years you'll be able to leverage your experience to get yourself a job in a location you'd be happier living.. and having a nest egg to take with you to that new locale would be even better....

I have a child to take care of here. If she didn't exist, I would go anywhere to make a higher wage. Temperature is nothing...you will just need to bundle up and get used to the climate. So yeah, do it..especially if it is doing something that you love. That is rare. Don't miss an opportunity.

As long as there was a commitment to get paid. If I was doing what I love and getting paid bigtime, 2 years would fly by. I would be basking in the sun with all the cash.

I could do it; I'm pretty much a homebody anyway so I'd be comfortable staying in from the cold most of the time :)
