What attracted me to this position is that AXA is willing to pay for my M5, M9, M9a and H1 papers and if I passed all of them on my first attempt I'll receive some financial reward.*

However, the issue I have with the position is that I have to work odd hours. I am aware of this and I am more than willing to sacrifice my time and put in an effort but the interviewer informed me that I'll be required sometime to work as late as 2am to socialise with clients. I would like to seek opinion from edmw on whether this is common. This bugs me because firstly, from my knowledge, as a new recruit I would spend most of my time building my client base. So shouldn't I be out on the roads approaching potential customer. Secondly, as a newbie I wouldn't have any client to socialise with. Also the interviewer told me that I'll be able to earn up to $15k in my first month. It feels unlikely but do anyone know whether this is achievable? Also do you think this position is legit or it a scam?
