Ask HN: Help Negotiating Pay and Hours for a Startup
3 points by anonthrowaway on March 19, 2012 | hide | past | favorite
Hey HN,

I'm an 18 year old Ruby dev about to take my first paid job (ever) in the form of an internship at an NYC startup. I interned remotely for a different startup, unpaid, throughout this year, but over the summer I have an offer for a new paid internship position on site in New York.

I informed them that to take the position I would need $15-$25 dollars per hour (to help cover New York living expenses and then some), and they agreed, but have yet to get back to me on specifics.

However, I have no idea how working hours for startup employees are normally negotiated, nor how they are tracked. I barely have a concept of how this is done for a 'normal' job, but let alone working in startups.

Does anyone have advice? Explanations? Resources? You can also email my throwaway email at hnanonthrowaway@gmail.com.

Thanks!
