Ask HN: What is a fair pay for a bootstrapped startup to hire marketing intern? I am currently running a bootstrapped startup, and i need an intern to help me with marketing and sales. since i am bootstrapping and i am very low in fund, i am thinking of hiring an intern and pay with profit sharing based on the intern performance. Another reason is that it can be served as a trial. if it goes well and things pick up, it can be converted to full time, and i can also pay an hourly rate. i am thinking of 10% share from net profit generated from the intern marketing performance. what do you think? Would it be fair? Or a larger profit sharing like 15%, 20%? Thanks. |
