What is half of what you're expected to earn? Have you asked what range would be 'proper salary based on performance'? Are they doing things that you are interested in? Will you acquire new skills that will be useful in your career?
If you are considering this offer, can we assume that there are few offers at this moment? Depending on your situation/skills/experience, maybe it might be worth giving it a try. 3 months isn't a long time.
- owkaye 16y ago> What is half of what you're expected to earn? That's my question precisely. Maybe your expectations are out of line with reality? The programmers I used to manage overseas certainly had this problem. Nearly all of them fresh out of college expected the same salaries as those with 5+ years of real work experience. Graduating from college into the real world is a shocking "reality check" for some students.
- lzm 16y agoThey offered 1200 BRL/month (about 10K USD/year). A junior engineer is supposed to make at least twice as much over here[1]. They work for foreign clients, and I do have experience with the job (through oDesk/Elance/RAC). I've also published a couple of papers and won several programming contests (I got to the ACM ICPC world finals once). I believe I deserve more.

- rmc 16y agoYeah lots of students graduate and think they know everything and are worth a lot. Especially computer science graduates.
