Compensation Advice - Unique situation

Here is the deal: - I am starting in S&T for FT at a BB, that will happen in July. - During my final year I worked with a Hedge fund to work on an important model and really impressed them. (Didn't take their offer for FT as I wanted to work on the sell-side for a few years before working on buy-side). - Now the HF is asking me to work with them (from now to July) on the same model, work on it remotely and part-time.

Here is my question: How should I treat this offer from a compensation point of view? I surely don't want to be paid the salary of a summer analyst (it's just not worth it for me). Should I explicitly ask them to pay me what they pay their 'Consultants'?

Or would I be ruining my relationship with them by asking for more.

Thanks for your advice, really appreciate.

Basically I want to take the offer if they pay me something like $50/hr, don't feel like taking the offer if they are offering let's say something like $25/hr. What do you say?

matty: thanks for your response, yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking, try not to piss those guys off.
