Yikes. I see add like that, I run away from it very fast:) Full of corporate bulls**t. Not that I'd qualify, but even if I did, I'd sooner sell doughnuts on the street corner. I think big corporate culture is a thing of the past. Like slavery:)  (and yes I did work for one for 7 years, thanks to microstock was able to get out of that jail:))

No. The only way to get into Getty is upload 1MP cellphone pics on Flickr 

Well hell I'l be glad to be a flightless lackey,drone if they pay enough

Go for it, baby.   But I've done my time in corporate slave ships.

Seriously, it depends on your personality. If you get the job, can I visit you at work and shoot  "Happy Corporate Photographer"?

yep.

Hope nobody applied for the position...

 Hi All,

 I am very good friends with Ryan Mcvay. Look him up on Getty he has over 25,000 images there that he has created for Getty as a Getty photographer. It might not be for everyone but he has loved the last 12 years or so of being able to travel the globe with big expensive casting and support and just become an excellent shooter while he gets paid with the best art directors available.
 He was one of my students for a semester in college and he has come a long way on their dime. He can shoot anything with any light source you could imagine. I asked him once why he didn't just do it himself. He replied " because I like to go take awesome photos get a pay check and be able to work in my garden on the weekend. He likes the 9-5 corporate deal and he has been with them for over a decade, they can't be treating him all that bad. I don't know if that is the kind of job Getty is offering but if you were young with a bit of talent you could become a master of the art of photography while getting paid. Not a bad gig.

Best,
Jonathan
