Internship: How much should I be paid?
03-11-2015, 03:06 PM
I am on the brink of getting an internship for a small non-profit start up. I think its turning out to be a pretty nice gig since it lets me work remotely. I believe I'll be writing research papers for them on international development.
Anyways, they asked me what amount I have in mind for compensation. I've never been asked this before, so I really don't know what to ask for or how much, but I was thinking about getting paid based on each article I submit to them. If I do it that way, I don't know how much I should be paid per submission.
Should it be something like $25? $50? $100? Or should I just ask for a modest amount each month?

How long will be your internship ?
In France you are paid 450€ if it is more than two months, you are not paid if it is less. For longer internship (6 moths) it can be up to 1500€ especially for graduate student and mostly in Paris.

Thanks guys. It will be an internship in the US.
I gave them my response before getting back to this thread.
I basically worded my response in that I am willing to be paid based on the amount of work I submit, but that it would also depend on my responsibilities, and that I am also open to what they have in mind.

First of all, internships are not to make money. They are to see if you're a good fit for a career with which allow you to make money at the company or at the very least, the same industry.
The only thing you should expect from an internship in terms of wages is enough to cover your basic living expenses and nothing more. Hell, I even did an internship for free to get into the industry I wanted to and this was in NYC where I was paying out of pocket. I wouldn't take it back for anything.

Go look for info on firms similar to yours on Glassdoor, since from what you describe the firm you are looking for probably won't be listed. I was going through the exact same thing as you, and it helped me get a good reference of how much I could ask and negotiate for from my internship. Best of luck, let us know how it turns out.

This was used a lot when I was young and really into the underground scene. I would invite girls to come back to listen to Fugazi records.
This is the first time in recorded history that Fugazi was used to remove panties.
