How much does everyone's firm pay their interns? I found out we only pay our interns $8.50 an hour. It doesn't feel right.

It’s a very different job market these days and students are struggling to find internships. It’s not unusual for a college student to have started looking in November and sent out over 200 applications and get nothing.
Some colleges require students to do an internship to graduate. So I that case they’d be happy to get what ever they can.

That how it’s always been(always meaning 2017 for me). You apply to firms during the fall semester after networking at careers events. You should have job offers by November for starting the next summer or fall

$14 in 2023 lol
But they were nice and I didn't need much

You probably got it wrong that’s below the minimum wage

likefunny

Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour. I know a number of states have higher, but not all. Certainly not here in Texas.

If we’re being honest, though, an intern probably contributes about 8.50 worth of value

likefunny

Yes, but the hope is to hire the good ones after they graduate and develop them into much more valuable pieces.

Those of you who earned over $25 an hour as an intern, dang! I earned $15.00 in 2018

Moved to the city about 6 months ago and I’ve been disappointed in my experience. I know the pandemic is playing a factor but I didn’t expect the winter days as gloomy as they’ve been. For those who have lived here for a while, is this normally what the winters are like? What do you do to keep things interesting when you can’t go outside? Last two months have made me consider moving but part of me feels like I won’t have given the city a fair shot
