thank you ArtyArty
the truth is that, I was making miserable salary at that company, as a
research scientist. I wrote the proposal, talked to people, did experiments
and participated in the administrative paperwork. I knew close to nothing in
the budgeting part, so this is the part I did not do much. But overall,
this is a VERY sound proposal with scientific rigor. Then, after submitting
the proposal, only after 5 days, I was conveniently fired for no apparent
reason (while, this should be apparent to everybody). Now, after almost a
year, I was told the grant get approved. They want to hire me back as
consultant (because I have another job now, thank Lord), for salary,a grand
total of actually 20,000 USD, for 560 hrs at 36 USD per hour.
I really should let you all know all the creepy things with that company.
