Hey, I can see where you are coming from but this is a really bad idea. You'll be sabotaging your application/life.

~90% of the hiring managers looking at your suggestion (me included) will not see any value in this. Having somebody working at minimum wage / under market value (besides unethical) creates all kinds of inequities and weird work place dynamics. For me it would not be worth it.

And the 10% who would actually entertain the notion: would you be ok working for people happy to exploit employees? That's setting yourself up for a burnout.

The best way to guarantee the things you want to guarantee is to do due diligence yourself and research the place you are applying to. Look for red flags. Be critical.
