Highest paid technology interns
- dtwwtd 14y agoI would say this is not all that accurate of a list - it seems more a list of what some of the biggest tech companies pay their interns.
- bdc 14y agoSpeaking as an alum of a technology company that does not appear on this list, that is correct.
- dave5104 14y agoThat makes me sad. VMWare pays its interns a higher "salary" than what I currently make. (But that's apples to oranges. I'm currently a UX designer that just graduated last year.)
- misframer 14y agoYou shouldn't feed sad -- I don't think it's useful to compare these internships to long-term jobs. Do we even know if these interns should expect those rates when they apply for an actual job?

- jlarocco 14y agoI've never heard of a company hiring an intern and paying them less than they made while they were interning. At the very least they'd make the same amount and gain benefits. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I would be completely shocked if any of the companies on the list paid their employees less than interns.
- Gatech2013 14y agoThey make way more.
- yen223 14y agoThey are getting more than what most senior engineers are getting in my company. Living in the third world really sucks.
- gte910h 14y ago1> They are usually not Year Round. 2> They often don't have benefits 3> SF is EXPENSIVE. Lots of that is just paying to live They do pay quite well, just not as well as your Austin or whatever salary makes that look like.
- yen223 14y agoI wish I lived in Austin. I work in Malaysia - the tech scene here is ... underfunded. Our living expenses aren't particularly cheap either.
- jdale27 14y agoThis is not even remotely surprising.
- Gatech2013 14y agoThese are all bay area jobs. Factor in the cost of living and it's less than impressive.
- dmishe 14y agoMS for one is not
- Gatech2013 14y agoThey have a MTV office if we want to get technical. But I guess I should say west coast.
- dmishe 14y agoWell true, but still, 72k in sfba and seattle is really different
- Shenglong 14y agoI'm not sure if I'm just experiencing the higher side of things, but these numbers seem low, or outdated. Friends at several of these companies have been paid on average, about $1,000 or so more than reported here for internships, excluding stipends for travel/living. Other industries are catching up too. Several of the US investment banks have been paying their interns around the same range, with some going much higher. Lenard Green & Co (leonardgreen.com) is apparently paying at least one intern 140 pro-rated for the summer. Disclaimer: this may be hearsay and completely false, but these sources have little reason to lie.
- Gatech2013 14y agoThey have to be outdated.
- ceras 14y agoMaybe this is for all interns at the firm, so companies that hire more interns for lower-paid positions end up with an average below what an engineering intern sees.
- meric 14y agoYes, could be accounting interns.

Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her. 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20:20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.
