This unique job pays between $100,000 and $120,000, with an additional $15,000 upon completion. The total compensation could reach $135,000.
Kalshi’s job posting on LinkedIn describes this role as a “GTA VI Researcher.” The selected gamer will play the game from start to finish, studying its fictional financial system.

They are required to deliver a “State of the Leonida Economy” address and submit weekly reports on the game’s economy.
Qualifications include at least ten years of gaming experience and three years of streaming. Applicants need their own streaming channels, equipment, internet connection, and software. Experience with streaming platforms is essential.
“Grand Theft Auto VI” is set for release on November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. The game is breaking preorder records, with Sensor Tower reporting over 10 million digital preorders worth more than $1 billion. Although Rockstar Games has not released official figures, “Grand Theft Auto V” previously set a high bar with over $1 billion in sales within three days of its 2013 release, now reaching over 230 million copies sold worldwide.
