juilletmercredi Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah, I agree. You're looking for a highly-trained contractor (doesn't matter that they are a student) and you're only paying $100/day? Assuming 8 hours of work, that's $12.50 an hour. That's low in general; it's especially low for the SF Bay Area. Particularly if you want an advanced graduate student; you have to be aware that the best advanced graduate students have the opportunity to contract out their work for better pay all the time. Even my own university paid me $20/hour for consulting, and when I went freelance I made a lot more. I think assuming an 8-hour day for 3 days, you should pay at least $30/hour, which will come out to about $720 for three days. In return, you can actually get an advanced graduate student (someone who has completed the MS and is past comps, perhaps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
