I don't know if you're from the US or not, but in the US the term telemarketer usually refers to someone that makes cold calls to private residences. It is usually low paid work and usually outsourced to countries with cheap labor.

Dude was getting paid 70k in the Netherlands. That’s a pretty big chunk of change. Not “low paid” work at all…
That's my exact point, it is unlikely that he was actually a telemarketer and the article is probably wrong.

Ah, my mistake. I thought you were saying he must not have been paid well because he was a telemarketer. And I agree with you.
