You then need to decide if the contract is long enough and the pay good enough to invest in the rating !
I still can’t see any reason why a company should pay for you to get qualified to do the job you are applying for . If I wanted to employ a chauffeur I wouldn’t pay for him to get his driving licence !!
But we aren't chauffeurs, we are professionals who have already invested 100k into a licence.

We technically have our 'driving licence' if you want to use that analogy, what a chauffer doesn't need is a type rating for every car he drives.
