The actual ad (not sure why BBC wouldn't post it; PC Magazine wouldn't, either): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyQ8ktDrQbc

Some context to this: For one, it's a US job. BBC is a British news organisation. So this is an offer to Americans. Second, you'd be a federal worker, which means your boss would be Donald J. Trump — or, at least, your boss's boss's boss, high up enough the chain. Two-point-five, when there's a shutdown, you don't get paid shit. That said, when the budget passes, you're given back pay, and it's worth noting that the FAA gave all air traffic controllers a $10K bonus if they missed no days during the big shutdown last year. So yeah, you could make good money, but you have to save some of it to pay bills when the job stops paying for a while. You get paid everything back, but you could go a couple months without a paycheck, depending on what the politicians want to do. Third, you have to either live near an airport, or be willing to commute to one. Most people live near a regional airport, but that regional airport might not need ATCs; you might have to move to a big city, which means a higher cost of living.

They don't say, but I've heard they either have, or want, an age cap, so if you're an old-school gamer, you might be too old to apply.
