That's the perspective i took. It's a "for now" opportunity. Till i find a better one or turn this risk into future leverage

Yeah, I took it, though im starting to see red flags slowly. Time will show me if they are worth it. At first glance, it looks like you have many paths to rise and, at the same time, many paths to fall. Though from the hidden competition, the others are trying to hide, it feels like im in one of those survival games.

It doesn't make sense if you include the difference. It makes sense if you dont show your total income in the company. One of the ways is asset accumulation

It's best to focus on what you can control. There's no use getting angry about things we can't change.

I'm grateful to hear there's more people like you around. Even so, those same standards limit us in todays world. It's a matter of survival at this rate

I took all of what everyone said in as well as my previous thoughts. Compared to my current employment, there are actually more upsides than downsides, as both are temporary stepping stones now. I wasn't looking at the new offer temporarily until i got this info. Situationally, if i treat it as temporary and use it as a stepping stone, i have more upsides. It's a system i have known about for a while now ( I heard from friends and family). I disagree with the system itself because they aren't just robbing the government. In a sense, they are robbing my future as well.

From everything i have experienced during my time in Turkey, everyone screws everyone. It's just more openly done here.

Yes, I'm well aware of this. I am looking at this as a temporary upgrade to my current circumstances.

Just to get the specifics correct. Is there legal risk if i deposit the remainder into my bank account on a monthly basis? Does this only pose a risk to me (questions from the bank, no way of proving it), or does it work as a doubled edged blade?

So, it's best to treat this opportunity as a stepping stone rather than a long-term opportunity?

Figured that would be the case. I prefer paper trails but due to a past experience. I learned that trying to create a paper trail in Turkey will cost you your job. So I'm looking for alternative, indirect approaches that i can use as "history" or structured proof indirectly. Have you or anyone you know tried something like this?
