I'm still in my first six months as a developer and have just started working for a tiny startup where I am the only employee, and receive excellent mentoring and am leveling up. It's a short term, open-ended arrangement.
We have been trying to come up with a fair contract, given that there are limited cash assets,and that this is more or less an internship. My boss spends twenty minutes a day giving me code review and direction, which is valuable for me at this early stage in my career.
What is a fair rate? Do I charge less given the mentorship I receive? We work well together, and are both motivated to make this work.
We've worked out one benchmark per week, and are trying to figure out a contract. The company has limited cash resources.
Thanks for any guidance.
