<p>They already told D they’d love to have her but they don’t have a lot of money. She said she could work 10-15 hours/week this summer. They asked her what her rate per hour would be.</p>
<p>Last summer, she had a paid internship (or more accurately, an internship with a set stipend) but her supervisor only asked her to come in 2-3 times a week for 3-4 hours per day. Based on her actual hours worked, she earned over $50/hour. But that would be way too high to ask of this start up and it’s more because her supervisor didn’t need her that much.</p>
<p>She will have lots of responsibility (it’s an ecommerce retailer; her task would be marketing and improving brand awareness through social media) which will look good on her resume.</p>
<p>No matter what she says, if they don’t want to pay it, they won’t, and they’ll counteroffer. She asked me what she should ask for in the initial negotiation phase. I don’t know what interns get paid per hour. She had a friend who had an IB internship and got $3000 for the summer, but he also worked 100 hours/week. </p>
<p>Any info much appreciated.</p>
