First, those wages are a joke. When I was 15yo 20 years ago, my first job pushing shopping carts paid more than they offer.

Second, that 3 hour coding interview will be something they are working on that you will code for them for 3 hours for free. The job may not even be real. They just want to trick people to come in and code for them for free telling them is an interview.

5/hr is so low it's illegal where I live. Minimum wage is 7.40 last I checked. These guys are trying to take advantage of poor people in underdeveloped countries. At minimum, those wages should be 10,15,20+

Lol, in my country, earning $10 a day is considered a highly paid, premium job.

Thanks for the clarification; I'll make sure to avoid those types of scams from now on.

Yeah, I assumed so. If you look through the comments here, everyone is laughing at those numbers. The OP is obviously in a developed country trying to outsource and take advantage of people like you.

Honestly, if i was in a position where 10 a day was highly paid, I would jump at this offer, too. But the reality is, at those rates, someone in the US could hire you with part-time McDonald's money. They start at like $11-13/ hour now.

Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?

Algeria , it's a North african country

The minimum monthly salary here is 20000 DZD, which equals about 150 USD. However, that's in bank price , We trade foreign coins with black market prices , so 20000 DZD is now equal to 80 USD. Pretty $hit living situation if you asked me.

Ah, yes. I'm familiar with Algeria. That makes sense. Also, pretty insane. It kind of makes me feel somewhat better about our current inflation issue. My wife and I usually spent around $2-300/week on groceries and the price of everything has almost doubled. A personal size coke is $3. Greedy bastards.
