I believe it's about $30/hr at KPMG where I'm at which is tier 3 city. Take the experience and leverage for something better. On the other hand, don't focus that much in money or you'll never be happy. There will always be someone who makes more than you

Thanks it’s not really the money I’m worried about . I would just like to see how I’m being compensated based on market. I have top tier internship experience. I took the internship because I had the capacity this semester and more experience is always good.
Thanks for your comment

Severely underpaid. Even audit gets more...

OP, you should go to the place that gives you the best exp and covers your COL.

I made 20/hr in HR two years ago, I think you are well within your rights to call yourself underpaid. I think it’s hard as an intern - you don’t have a lot of bargaining power. One way to get some would be to lock down a competing offer. Since you are really early in your career, you could also just hop ship too! Nothing wrong getting paid more and getting new experiences :)

I believe PwC is $40ish for advisory interns, however, this is for summer internships.

It’s very difficult to get a good part time, sprint internship. If it’s part time anything is good

Why are you using punctuations like that? Anyway, fwiw I received $29/hr as an MBA part-time in-semester intern so $17/hr for undergrad doesn’t seem out of range. Often they pay a lot less than full summer internships.

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both. Either I love the job and I’m grossly underpaid or the job is totally mediocre but the money is great. Is it really possible to have it all or do I need to lower my standards? Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.
