[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Update:

I wrote a.polite worded diplomatic response. Basically declined and said it doesn't align either industry standard for sme which is $58/hr national average. I said my expertise is worth more than minimum wage and I wish them the best. I did say they should re evaluate their compensation model.

They responded back that I have to look at this as an altruistic opportunity for professional development and that I can be a part of something greater and help.propel the industry further.  My expertise is valuable and I should share.  They then ended the email with a nice please reconsider phrase.

Um.....this industry is healthcare.  This company profits on the products they develop. This is not an industry where we are spreading the good word or.digging wells in Africa.  I will never work for $15/hr doing sme work. I'd rather take my time and give time freely to a non profit helping battered women.  (I recently attended a fundraising event and want to get more involved. That's altruism and I don't want to compensation for it. It's to help women and community.

The altruism and something bigger than yourself doesn't sit well with me in the case of a healthcare organization.[/quote]
