It seems like everybody is quite inflamed by my presence. I would like to mention that earning in MT industry is not directly related to being a veteran or a newcomer or how many stars you got in this forum. I know people who have slogged for 15 to 16 years in this industry and consider themselves as veterans and still not able to earn enough to meet their monthly expenses or are very hesitant to take new job offers because they become quite attached to a certain company. Though I would not like to boast about myself, but since the matter has come to head, I would like to mention that I am earning on an average of 40 k per month and this not because I am a veteran or I have earned any stars, its only because I keep my eyes and ears open to the best offer in the industry. If I come across a good offer, I join that company as partime for a few months initially and then if feasible, work full-time for them, and until now I have never been rejected by any company on the basis of my quality. By doing this, I can know whether the company is paying on time or whether they are recruiting someone to acutely flush out their backlog files and then stop giving work or whether they are recruiting MTs to handle the poor quality dictations only. Always have at least 2 companies as backup, since from my experience I can say that especially people who are working on a line count basis will have a dip in their volume during certain times of the year and if you have a backup your earnings will not be significantly affected. I have no personal grudge against anyone nor am I here to influence anyone's decision. My only and last message in this forum is that in MT industry you can only earn more than others if you keep your eyes and ears open for the best offers.... after all the rule of the game is --- more rate per line = more you earn
