You get $25,000 a week but twice a week, you're abducted by aliens just as you're leaving for work. They'll do weird experiments on you and then drop you off at work two hours late.

Your boss will be fine with this but will make you stay two hours afterwards to make up for lost time.

Is this a 25k a week job or is that money just being dropped in my bank account as a thank you from the aliens/hush money front the government?

With $25k/week, I would retire. Then the aliens would never be able to pick me up on the way to work.

I'll play nice though: They can pick me up when I'm making my way to the beach instead.

Can we elaborate on "weird experiments" at all? I assume a reward of $25,000/week means that the risk is similarly high and that I'm not likely to survive a huge number of weeks.

If we can guarantee that I won't be harmed (physically or mentally) by the experiments, then easy yes.

Can I stop at any time? I feel like hitting $1 million or something, I’d exit this experiment and live off interest gains and my comfortable life.

Also no job to be late to if I’m making $25k a week. Unless it’s required, then give me something mundane and easy like Uber driving or something and I’d do a single trip each week.

What kind of weird experiments? Asking for a friend...

Plan A: quit the job and love off the 25K a month. Goodluck with picking me up.
Plan B: 100% remote work from home job, again don't have to leave for work so no pickup.
