Honestly, you have no risk there. If the project is super important and you drop the ball it will be the companies responsibility to explain why it was led by an intern
On the other hand, if you succeed you have a great negotiating position for better pay.
Eitherway you will gain a good reference for your resume
So the way I see it, this is a win-win situation. Don't make things complicated just yet by asking for more money, give it a while to prove that you are an important asset and then use that to get a substantial raise in 6-12 months
I've been working for about a year now at a company. It's my first job in the industry. I'm technically still an intern as my role however next week I'm kicking off a project as the technical lead and architect of the project (without a title change). I'm new to the professional industry but I've been programming for a while and do a lot of stuff on my own. Due to being an intern I'm making well below other devs even less than ~1/3 of what some of the people that I would be leading are making I've never worried about money because I'm a student and just am enjoying the learning but at this point. It seems like a bit of stress and risk that I'm taking on without any sort of benefit other than just learning more. Am I selling myself short? Any thoughts? Thanks.
