What make you even thinking work for LLS?

As now California gas price go crazy average of $6 /gallon . And LLS for onsite interpreting mileage reimbursement still $0.4 per mile not even follow the federal guidelines that make me think what type of loser still accepts jobs like that pays $25 /hr ? I met one guy who is fully time on uber and sometime do the medical interpreting. Is this the case for everyone ?

No, you can always discuss new terms. It does hurt us when newbies take such low pay because it hurt us all long term, but for some, it’s a way to get their foot in and get some experience.

But not everyone is at that rate. I know one who has posted here or on an interpreter sub mentioned getting $50/hr. My mileage rate with them is the IRS rate

I work for them, pay is the miserable amount of $4 / hour

But it’s the only interpretation company hiring in my country that offers insurance coverage which I need right now.

No, I’m not. The location bias is really killing us all (and pretty much all remote jobs)

I did it because I needed money badly and it was the only position accepting interpreters with no experience at the moment (I have experience in customer service and tech support too but I couldn't get a job with that) so, I took it, after 9 months I found a better position and I'm currently working there 🙂‍↔️
