Giant Bomb #7 | Hey There, Small Business Owner!

Yup, Kevin Murphy.
I might have to buy this.
There's even a cute Tom Servo reference.
Heh, I caught that in the quicklook. This Island Earth.
Good luck! I'd like to apply, but there's no way I'm moving across the country right now.
Can't wait to mock you during the live streams, I mean...good luck!
I can't imagine it's the latter. I'm sure some applicants are willing to move for this job so why not keep them in consideration. Probably just people not taking rejection very well.

Hoping it's the former. I'm more than qualified for the production job (at least from a technical experience stand-point), but I'm currently based in the UK. Moving is not an issue - working at somewhere like Giant Bomb is a dream job for me. I'd pack my bag tomorrow and head to SF if they wanted to hire me.
Probably the former, someone asked Jeff on Tumblr about not living in San Fran and applying for the job and he said "I dont really care where people live now, but the openings are in San Francisco."
That would a massive mistake. For such a tiny team, it's already bad enough that 50% of their official editorial works remotely.

Whoever they hire NEEDS to be SF based and they know it.
When one person it out of the office the whole operation falls apart now.

I was saying that I think some applicants thought they could do that. GB however was being adamant that the person must be in SF and stay there.
There's not a chance they'll hire a remote person for this opening.
yea, it's a given. The new guy is supposed to help out when they're short-staffed. I mean, if they're in another place, who needs them?

I definitely don't think they are ruling people out from other states considering I got contacted and I live in GA.
Moving might not be an issue but a visa might. Even if you could get one, it would involve extra time and expense for the company. I would not be surprised if HR remove all non-us residents in the first cut.
As to Jeff's comment. There hasn't been nearly enough time for rejected applications so likely just ppl moaning at him on twitter about not wanting to move.

LAMIAFUSION NEW ASSOCIATE PRODUCER CONFIRMED.
Yup, on Twitter or Tumblr. The whole point of hiring more people is to help out in the SF office, so it should be pretty obvious to everyone that you'll have to work from the main office.
Little of column a, little of column b.
Especially with the housing situation out there. Even if it's a dream job, I doubt working at GB is paying 6 figures.

It seems the Vinny, Brad and Jeff were never very good at Simon Says
Simon Says never had sixteen pieces of the pie to worry about.
Also, generally when playing Simon Says you wouldn't have two colorblind people and a third one saying "No, the green one!"

Fuck, I think you're right. Either that or I just didn't meet some other criteria. The HR Status in my job submission is marked as "Requisition Closed". Bummer.
Good luck to all the duders still in the running.

I'm not sure if this question is out of line but is there any idea how much the new on camera position would pay a year? I've always been curious how much game journalists make, I understand its not a lot.
Doubt anyone on here would know outside of some pretty baseless speculation.
edit: First time seeing China Warrior...what a game!

It's funny that none of those three knew of anyone with even a knowledge of JoJo's until recently and both this thread and the comment section of the QL are just wall-to-wall references and other silliness.
This is where we have fan art of them with Stands.
I wouldn't doubt Jeff had to do some real oratory to let them move to those cities, also.

Always thought Patrick probably got a pretty sweet deal out of that. Cost of living in Chicago is like 2/3 of the SF area, so unless he got a pay cut he's probably making a (comparatively) pretty penny.
Of course this is none of our business, but it's something I've always wondered about "cross-national" jobs.

Gotta agree. Especially people actually thinking that banker guy was serious. But it's GB, so it'll get run into the ground.
Sounds like something a banker guy would say.
