In Reply to: Considering QA - Advice - QA

For one thing, I can make more transcribing with a LOT less frustration.  It gets old fast seeing work that is pure garbage turned out by American MTs day in and day out.  It is not only the offshore MTs producing garbage work, trust me.  Companies also cycle through people fairly quickly due to them not meeting the QA standards, line requirements, whatever the reason, and correcting reports with dozens of blanks for various reasons is tedious.  I found it far more exhausting than I ever did transcribing the worst ESL docs.  Just something to keep in mind.  The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence!
