The company has announced that it is seeking an editor for its website, The Infatuation, which offers Internet users lists of restaurants to discover in various major American cities.
“It’s both a writing job and an eating job,” JP Morgan joked in his announcement.
The ideal candidate is described as “the friend in the group who chooses the restaurant”. He must be a “lover of restaurants and New York City,” of course, but also have at least five years of writing experience and a “grammar lover who can’t sleep at a comma, forget, or misspell a menu item”.
In addition to $30,000 to visit as many restaurants as possible, the future editor-in-chief will receive an annual salary of between $85,000 and $130,000.
Alternatively, there are food review writing editorships in Seattle and London, where successful applicants are tasked with “spending their evenings visiting as many restaurants as possible and their days writing about them.”
