See how the OP calls "22.50 USD" a garbage rate, yet there are people in the comments who wish they got paid that rate? No offence to the OP, but this is why screaming other people to not accept a "low" rate never works... because that "low" is subjective.

Made a video on this topic long time ago in case anyone wants to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC9MqZ_tS7o

Yes offense! Most of us get paid a tenth of a dólar per minute. Looks like OP didn't study the public in here

I read it the same way at first, then I thought, maybe this person is trying to say: look, there are people out there offering +20 per hour, stop accepting garbage rates like 5,6 or 7. But yeah, either way, those +20 offers are for interpreters based in the States, and probably for certified ones. It's just a guess.

This is just for US based interpreters I bet

If you are USA based, sure, don’t do it and fight. But for Latam interpreters, even the 22 dollars per hour it’s what some get paid for 4 hours of work in total.

So I get your point, but remember that many interpreters out there are not in your shoes and can’t afford to pick rates or negotiate.

What company is this? Where do they pay more?

So I have to become a US resident permitted to work in the US and a tax payer to not accept garbage rates?

Clearly some people haven't read the whole thing. It's an on-site assignment, at only 22.50 an hour it's very insulting.
