The words "qualified individuals" and "after an initial screening" indicate
that this offer is unethical, because it violates the first principle of
modern ethics: not to have secret criteria; by not stating what the criteria
are for the initial screening, people may give private information to this
organization, and still not get their hundred dollars; although this may be
unintentional in collecting this information for this company at this time,
this unethical behavior is becoming prevalent in many modern industries, and
it is time to raise our awareness of, and stop it.

Looks like a simplistic attempt to build a database of professionals
approaching their maximum earning power.
Odd to think that such moronic tricks would miss out Bill Gates.
And me.

These guys are a subsidiary of a financial holding company and I doubt
their search is designed to obtain anything more than demographic
data for sale to marketers. Go for it if you _really_ think you'll
"qualify" :-)
