Re: Opportunity for NJ licensed Solo

I know nothing about the organization making this offer, but
I am skeptical. A good rule of thumb is to be careful of
people who use super-superlatives to describe themselves,
and who go out of their way to describe themselves as
reputable. For example, this post described the company as
having "A++ office space" (what's the matter with "Class "A"
office space?) and as being "very well established". They
also saw the need to state that "This is an extremely
legitimate posting" (what's the difference
between "legitimate" and "extremely legitimate"? And why
does the reader need to told how "extremely legitimate" this
company is?) Not to mention, this would be the first
business arrangement I've heard of where "everyone has been
unversally happy", as the company claims.

If this company is as "highly acclaimed" as they say, then
their record will speak for itself, they will be easy to
check out, and my doubts will be erased. But, my guess is
that there's a catch. Caveat emptor.
