Feb 27

Hi everybody,

Very low rate Feb 28

Do the math Feb 28

Hi Giuliana,

A rate of USD0.08 per minute is equivalent to USD4.80 per hour. I notice you are based in Argentina, but even then this appears to me to be very low for interpreting jobs. Co... See more
Hi Giuliana,

A rate of USD0.08 per minute is equivalent to USD4.80 per hour. I notice you are based in Argentina, but even then this appears to me to be very low for interpreting jobs. Compare https://remotepeople.com/countries/argentina/average-salary and https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/wages

Kind regards,
