The entire world of being a mercenary is so foreign to me I couldn't even imagine how to begin finding a job in the field, but surely there are better merc jobs out there at this moment than going to the meat grinder for a military notorious for not paying their mercenaries
start by being discharged from a regular army and wait for shady individuals/emails to hit you up. all the major companies aren't real 'soldiers of fortune' just disavowable government assets closely attached to a national army & using its retired personnel
I remember watching a documentary on mercs in Afghanistan who mostly did convoy protection, the way they pitched themselves it seemed like if you got out after four years of being an infantryman they would call you right as you realized that the government lied to you about everyone in the civilian world wanting to hire veterans.
