I think you are right, but I did not reply because HN blocks constant replies to posts for new account. I do acknowledge very privileged to be in this position, and I am actually fine with the pay for now. The reason why I asked this question was because someone told me I was being exploited for my labour, I soon realized that it seems like I was. I wanted to see if I could do anything about it seeing how there will be a point where a student who actually needs a job like this would become overworked by the weird requirements of the build.

> someone told me I was being exploited for my labour Some people believe the employer-employee relationship is intrinsically exploitative, so that's not saying much. I don't think you're being exploited although you are probably being mismanaged. I'd just take the job for what it is. You gain experience, you work your 18 hours a week until the deadline, and if you aren't done in that time, it's not your problem.
