I already know I'm going to take some slack for making this thread. When I saw this online I was so pissed off I sent them 2 emails cursing them out. It's bad enough we talk about cheap clients looking to book a DJ to do an event for them for a ridiculously low price. This one takes the cake.
There is a DJ company in NY looking for DJs to come and work for them. They would like you to have experience but they are willing to train. They want you to have Macbook, laptop and Serato. They also want you to be good with all types of music. The pictures in the ad are through the roof. They are so good I would like pictures like that for my website! That's how great they are. In one picture they have a lighted facade which I know personally are not cheap. Mine cost me $500 plus tax. They have fog in another picture. Just great looking pictures.
The type of events they do are weddings, birthday parties, pool parties and so on. A bunch of different types of events. Here's where it gets crazy and I say they lost their rabbit ass mind. The compensation they want to pay per event is $50-100. Are they serious?! It's bad enough dealing with cheap clients looking to book a DJ for next to nothing. Now this company wants to even give this business a even blacker eye. Just real sad. You can go get a bar gig paying more then what they want to pay. When I used to play in the Private Place Lounge before it closed down I was getting paid $150 per night when they needed me and I was available. When will we get to the bottom before enough is enough? The sad part of course is they will probably find some people that desperately need to make some extra money. Things for me financial are tight but they will never get that tight as long as I live and a DJ.
