Dude think of this as laundry for your resume. Once you come out of there, you'll be able to land jobs at much higher rates. Plus, the bonus thing does sound good.

Don't talk to the employer about rates during this process. But it's OK to dangle carrots, such as your special ability to solve x type of problem if you have anything like that, something that will make it more likely for the employer to tell the recruiter "I want this one hired."

Also start looking for other offers so that if you do end up wanting to say no to this one, that will be easier to do.
