It's not possible to say without knowing where the company is and what the position requirements are.

A recruiter called me last week to discuss a tech. writer position at a company. She waxed eloquent about this "billion-dollar" company, its values etc. When we got around to discussing the compensation package,
she quoted a figure of 24 dollars an hour. Needless to say, I was
quite peeved to learn that this "supposed billion dollar company" was offering me peanuts in exchange for my services.
