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!

oxford and he's working in a company for fuck all, jsut
because of the name, but its worth it in the long run...

i'm doing work experience in some studios here and that'll
be unpaid..

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 have a friend who went out with one of the press people
there and the salaries were actually pretty good as well as
the obvious perks - ie making great music happen

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.

the notting hill one - they've gone into some sort of
recievership now - ther guy who ran it ws a bit mental he
was basically a millionaire who puit cash under his mattress
and lived in a on bed flat sort of thing - he was told to
insure all the shops as it's a legality - so he set up his
own insurance company and paid the insurance money to
himself - he was caught out and done over - sonya from
echobelly (anyone remember them) works in there..

She was nice but a bit impish if I remember rightly.

Wow, I have picked up several bargains at various exchanges.
It'll be a pity if they fold.
