I've never been asked to work 3 weeks on a trial basis. I'd consider
that a huge red flag. :)
well *YOU* are a world-reknowned author and lecturer. I dont think
anyone is asking Kobe Bryant to join their basketball team on a 3-week
trial basis either.
The reason I accepted it was because I know that a lot of contractors
are fakes and they might need a little time to detect lack of ability.
Not only that, but I was the first contractor to ever get his throat
slit during the trial period. I didn't expect it and neither did the
consulting agency.
Plus, I was confident I would meet/exceed whatever expectations they
had. But then things got weird at the end. They said: "Terrence is not
proactive about getting work assigned to him" ... but then after
copious written documentation proving this assertion false, the next
day they said: "We are not going to go forward for budget reasons" ---
but from what I can tell, they have already hired a replacement for
me.
But I suppose I must've taken advantage of someone in a similar
fashion in this life or a previous life - everything happens for a
reason.

Yes. At least you're consistent!
