"QA"

If you are a good MT, I would recommend sticking with that. You will make less money doing editing there than straight typing, as they pay only 3.5 cpl, even though you're QA. I do not consider this a QA position, rather just a plain old Editor making 3.5 cpl. Plus, you will be editing mostly offshore work. I do both transcription and ASR for the company I currently work for and make 6.5 cpl for ASR and 8.5 to 9 cpl (incentive) transcribing. I used to work for All Type. The offshore work disgusted me, and I will never work for a company who offshores again. Indian MTs are only paid about 1.5 cpl. Then they pay the QA editor 3.5 cpl. Do the math. They're still making out pretty good while taking a job from some new MT fresh out of college whose reports would be a heck of a lot better than those. Also, I wasn't getting much more lines per hour than I do transcribing because you have to thoroughly review the offshore work word for word because there are so many errors. So not getting much more lph than transcribing and getting only 3.5 cpl...no thank you!

As a former "QA Nazi" undeserved or not, you guys make our lives miserable, too.
Especially ESL MTs who used to be doctors in India who think they know it all and like to threaten lawsuits. Yah, that's the ticket.
