I think they rely on the fact that people will work for a pittance just to get closer to some artist they idolise. Still, if you're happy with a "crappy" job you could probably do worse...

umm, it doesn't say what the pay is so I don't see how you came to that conclusion
ofcourse, they could quite easily be doing that
and i'm sure there's worse ways to get into music...look at mira calix!

I assume that warp would quite easily fill such a position with a meagre salary due to the number of IDm fans that would want to work for them. As such they're unlikely to have a great salary package.
If the job was the same, but in say, a macdonalds chain, you'd have to pay higher wages to entice people to work there...

yeah it's ok - i worked in a vinyl exchange - second had stuff - rare bits exchanging hands forloads at inflated prices - the staff were really weird but they got the best stuff before it hit the shelves - didn't stay there that long - went to work in a univrersity

Oh and the fact that they don't mention the salary- usually an indication that it's not great. If a job is well paid the company will make it prominent in the advert, e.g. 3d Artist required, £35,000 p/a

I'm not flaming warp- I just doubt that warpmart are exceptionally generous with their salaries. Still, job satisfaction is important too and if it's a nice working environment/something you're interested in you're prepared to work harder/less.
