    The potential upside is I could go hang out somewhere cool for a couple of weeks and maybe be inspired and learn stuff....

        @avantgame Also, I'm sure you could think of a dozen fun things to do that would inspire you and not require you to give your work away.

        @therealfitz that's a really good idea. Like I could spend two weeks on my own coming up w/a concept for NYC Marathon and offer it to them!

        @avantgame Ripple effects. Every time a creative person works for free, the ability of others to charge reasonable fees is weakened.

        @avantgame Your perceived value of the gig supersedes monetary compensation, but I just hate companies who don't compensate.

        @avantgame At the end of the day you need to decide if you're getting the value you want out of the transaction.

        @avantgame You think doing favors gets you ahead in the corporate world. In my experience you just become the person who does favors.

        @avantgame What does that contract say about your value? "Possibilities" is a classic tactic to get creatives to work for next to nothing.

        @avantgame If they find it valuable, they should pay. Doing it for free will give them evidence that they can continue "not paying" people

        @avantgame As long as you don't do anything with the inspiration before leaving! This job offer is sadly typical of profit-obsessed business
