Had one of these discussions a year ago in July.
Pull into a parking lot and "some guy" out smoking starts insulting my aged-but-well-maintained 2004 Nissan. Give him the "it's paid for" and "insurance and licensing is low".
The place is a start-up composites fabricator. Job listing looked rather weird, but let's go see.
Go in fill out more paperwork, and wait over an hour for the boss and HR to be "ready" for me.
Smoker "some guy" and a white Kardashian look-a-like...
Yes I have 7years making aircraft and drone parts, did surf equipment, had couple years on boat hulls, BS degree, engineering work for 4 years.
They described the work... as if they're Popular Science; no real clue on how this works. Suggests I could be facing 80-hour work weeks. Would have to start with building the tooling and molds.
No parts have been produced yet. Equipment they did buy is boxed, crated, and plastic wrapped still.
I ask questions about how the company started, the client contracts, span of the product line.
He "heard" composites would be profitable and "easy", no clients yet, millions in family money. He thinks one skilled guy and 2 or 3 GED hires could in 1 month produce a boat. It would be me and some 20-somethings that were flipping burgers the previous day. I would have to engineer and entire boat, source all the fitting and devices, layout the forms, layer and cure the hull, and get everything assembled in a month.
Told them it was not possible, would need almost a year to get the factory floor prepared, equipment prepared, engineering done, and a prototype built.
Yeah he, "That's why you drive a beatup junkpile, you don't know what you're doing, you've never been successful, you are low grade loser who will achieve nothing" blah blah blah.
"This job is not a good fit for me, thank you for the opportunity," I left rapidly.
Today that location is warehouse, seems to be a chinese frozen food distributor.
