New MQ QA? New MQ pay? I just got offered IC in SW region? Please tell me more. nm
..

Curious, are there any IC MT's from the So. Cal region?

I was wondering if there are any IC MT's in the Ventura Country region. I may be looking for some help soon, and I was hoping there might be someone in need of work. The hours would be flexible. It would also require driving locally one day a week.

TIA

Can anyone tell me how they like working for the NE Region of MQ as all offices in the NE are
going there one by one as the local offices close down. What are the people like to work for there and the QA people as far as feedback on things. Thanks

I was not pointing fingers at a particular region, sm
just pointing out that we in the Northeast have our share of bad weather. In fact, we get just about everything here. Blizzards, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, even earthquakes for that matter, albeit, minor earthquakes in the last century. Highest recorded winds were on top of Mt. Washington in New Hamphshire. Been there several times. Cold. It's expensive to live here, too. Due to proximity to the Big Apple, we get a lot of celebrities and rich types living here, driving up the per capita, while the rest of us pay the price at the pump, for real estate, you name it. Nobody tries to give us a hand. Just take from us. Funny, I work for a national, but don't get paid anymore than those in lower expense areas. When I worked for corporations before MT, pay was gauged to the region of the country we lived in. Those on west coast and Northeast made a little more because of the expenses in our areas.

Again as has been said many many times I think it depends on the office and the region.

I work in Pennsylvania and it has definitely gotten worse. Seems like this region is bad.

No, I am not trying to brag. I just wanted to know if others who live in my region are charging app
I did speak to another local MT this evening and she is charging .15 per line. That is all I wanted to know, what was the norm for this area and if I was overcharging.
