Describe your issue in detail here.
I got an offer from this company (link below) and it seems too good to be true. I did a really simply interview and the recuirter told me the first year will be 72,500 USD with 2 months paid training. However, I need to sign a contract and if I break the contract I would have to paid them back 20,000usd. Is this a scam or legit?? plz send help :(((

I looked at one of their “consultant” jobs just now and see:
• Full Time, W-2 Employment, with Free, Paid 6-8 Week Training in M365 Engineering (an Industry-Proof Technology) at Our Headquarters
If the training is really free, then they should not make you sign a contract to pay them back.

Their training is just not free, but they dont wanna say it, no. Instead they do some shifty marketing moves: “technically its free, but…”
