Well, I only clicked because I wanted to see pics of... Computer fans
For those looking for paid tiers: https://careers.cern/

Edit: for context, the original post title was “OnlyFans” (pointing out the joke subdomain, onlyfans.web.cern.ch).

... why?
Requiring to upload full portfolio and diplomas in the first step with probability of success as in any other job application, and the salaries... ehhh you're expected to live off "the prestige".
Salaries are specified in the "job grade" section, which it's linked salary it's public here: https://careers.cern/salary-conditions

also, if I recall properly of my time there salary was free of taxes :)

And also they pay for your health insurance, which in Switzerland is far from negligible
The second highest is 108k CHF annually so we're looking rather at something around 70k. In Zurich. As a new arrival one is always expected to "put their foot in the door" and once you walk in, you learn you don't belong.
It is an entry-level salary. So if it is comparable to most other Swiss salaries for higher education, it will be able to increase by at least 70%.
But as a tech worker I can expect, screw that, demand at least 320k for a junior role! Otherwise I will be poooooor! /s

Sometimes the VC-backed bubble entitlement is nothing short of stunning.

> demand at least 320k

Instead there is "we think 70k is a fair salary (please don't look at our housing market)"... I don't think either of the amounts is reasonable.

Depends with whom you compare youself. First, as others pointed out, CERN is 100k for an entry level position that is tax excempt. Second, while I don't know about Zurich, 70k are enough to live a comfortable live in Munich. Not sure whatelse people wanr, because 70k is way above what most people in, in my example, Munich earn, and those people live as well.

Maybe people should step out of their pseudo-rich bubble and become a little bit more modest. Also, not measuring everything based on one figure, e.g. yearly salary, propably improves live quality quite a bit.

This all might be true if housing is somehow not a problem. Otherwise one is forced to climb up from the bottom-most layer of a pit of scams and abuse.
Since when is housing not part of living? My example explicitly includes housing / renting in one of the most expensive cities in Germany.

They seem to be a pretty chill bunch, I wouldn't mind working there a few years.

I assume it is good for the CV too ;)

It was FAN while it lasted! /giggles
That is EXACTLY what I thought it would be, but with a slight difference: ceiling fans :D
So your expectations were quite high
I was blown away
As a new dad, I really appreciate all the puns here. Making dad jokes in the future should be a breeze.
Is this some kind of wind-up?
If it is, it's not flying.
For that, you need to duct those onlyfans!

The only job of fans is to blow, right?

You reminded me of one of the greatest websites to ever grace the Internet.

www.FurniturePorn.com

"What colour should we use for our website?"

"All of them"

It's definitely the most year 2000 website I've seen in a while.
I wanna subscribe take my money
This is quality clickbait.
I was delivered exactly what I was promised. 0% click-bait, 100% expectation management.
A project that truly gives power to their fans
Large hard-on collider.
To achieve stimulated emission
Oh no you made it worse XD
In grad school a fellow student and i came up with a dozen double entendres. I only remember a few.
Now we know what all those tax euros are funding at CERN!
IMO the best thing is that they already had the site as of 2018, they just renamed it for the joke.
This is the web we want
This breezy bunch of models is Smoove
