    They are offering, literally, like minimum wage for my time, and they would exclusively own all the ideas I generate for them.

        @avantgame pro bono or full price are your only options. Anything else leads to a bad place

        @avantgame One of the best feelings as a freelancer/consultant is saying no. You set your own value for your time and talent.

        @avantgame That's crappy of them. Employers hold a lot of power, especially over contract work. Good for you turning it down.

        @avantgame I would say 'pro bono is always nice every now and then,' but the ownership thing... that's not right for the fee.
