You would have to be employed by Blizzard

Very much this - in addition being a GM also involves working from one of our two EU offices (either Versailles in France, or Cork in the Republic of Ireland).

What’s a typical salary for a GM? Just ballparked?

Unfortunately, I can’t really answer that as:

1. Like any job, salary depends on many factors such as previous experience, knowledge, which office, personal negotiations during the hiring process etc. Even then the term “Game Master” is fairly broad and covers several functions and additional responsibilities, and things like performance can also affect the salary.
2. It’s been some years since I worked in the customer support department so I’m not really up to date on what the going rates are etc.

I guess it’s also worth clarifying that our Game Masters provide support for most Blizzard games. It’s very unlikely someone would be hired just to be a GM on a specific World of Warcraft realm for example.
