I am getting offered contract-based work as a Field Project Engineer, also known as a Contract Deployment Engineer, at Amazon Robotics. Although I will be working in an Amazon warehouse, my contract is with another company, not with Amazon Robotics. This other company basically hires people for Amazon Robotics. The contract is a year-long, and I have to travel each week for about 85% of the time.
The pay is 35/hr, and they also pay for food, transportation, and residence. Does this sound legit?

Large companies like Amazon will typically hire on contract to avoid the extra costs of hiring full time salary. It's likely all legit.

$35/hr is about what I'd expect for an entry level engineering role without travel, but the job market isn't great right now so I'd take the job, build my experience, and keep looking.

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Ranked in terms of excitement when I come on Thursdays:

2. Kids

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
