Help! Need advice on travel contract please.

[Archangel1]

Please help I'm traveling again for the first time in 8 years, and boy things seem like they've changed. Not sure if this contract sounds/looks kosher or if I'm just out of the loop, or if it's normal this day and age. Could anyone tell me if it's a decent offer?

40 hrs / week, 8 hr shifts Rehab unit, staying in an Extended Stay America paid by travel company, only One Way flight ticket, San Jose, CA, $15 base pay non-taxable, $10/ hr meals-incidentals, $10 non taxable housing, for a total of $35 / hr? Quoted about $1250/wk take-home pay.

Does this sound reasonable nowadays? Thanks so much for your help.

I'm not sure I get the agency providing housing in addition to a housing stipend. But regardless of the details, the only real way to find out if you are getting market wages for the area, your specialty, and your experience is to shop around and get other offers. I can only guess that this offer is at least better than your current pay since you are considering it, so why not?

Personally, I would not want to fly and not have a car and my bicycle and my other stuff with me, nor would I want to stay at an extended stay. But many travelers do apparently.
