  • no, you're right. They didn't mention the salary therefore there isn't one.

    Interesting post, given that I haven't said that at all.

    My suggestion is that the salary for the role will be low - and with every use of words like "opportunity" I'd knock another grand off the gross, as there is a fairly obvious quid pro quo here - the applicant is going to parlay experience for access to Rapha, a company that works in an area in which they're passionately interested, to (potentially) get a start in copywriting.

    = Whenever the job advert can be paraphrased as "by employing you we're doing you a big favour" it's not going to be win-win.

  • But the post is actually pretty thin on guff. The only part I can pull out is

    "This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic young writer with a passion for cycling"

    As someone that's just been looking at junior positions I've seen so many genuine adverts that look for 3+ years experience, way more skills than any junior would have and/or only pay in equity.

    This Rapha one is very reasonable, in fact more so than most other Rapha job adverts I've seen.
