I'm a junior studying CS, and I just got my first internship offer ever. It's $7500 a month! Like, wtf is this industry? Are we headed for a crash?
>>53602522
That's pretty good for an internship you fuck. That's $90,000 a year. You're making more than some people who have graduated are.
Let me guess, you have to live in/around SF/SV?
Say goodbye to a third of your pay for rent.
Country?
>>53602522
>thinking that is bad
People who graduated and have work experience make here 13000 dollars per year. And this is for a normal job in IT.
>>53602522
Get ready for when Uncle Sam wants his share. Set aside 20% for taxes.
>>53602522
hey congrats man but can you please explain what the fuck is going on here
>>53602522
>Are we headed for a crash?
Probably. Get in, get money, and get out when it gets bad.
>>53602603
>here 13000 dollars per year
Pajeet
>>53602615
uhhhhhhhh
>>53602556
Oh I know, I just think it's weird, and highly unsustainable for a startup.
>>53602576
I do, though they're offering free housing for interns
90k in SF = 20k quality of life in other states
>>53602653
>free housing for interns
Do it do it do it do it!
>>53602556
that's exactly the point he was making.
as for OP, no, i think we just haven't come to terms socially with the outsize impact that technology has on us. but MSR offered almost 2k more than that last summer.

1) anyone with a brain stem knows that you're exaggerating, which discredits you (because why would someone exaggerate unless they were on shaky ground)
2) internships tend to offer a stipend or bonus for housing.
You might argue some coefficient modifier on other costs (food, transportation, etc...) but if you want anyone to believe that the modifier is more than 1.5x then you're crazy.
>>53602615
I wouldn't worry about it.
>>53602832
Ok Major Spoiler
I was making the same for my internships. I'm making 100k a year out of school now.
I got degrees in CS and Physics and make $55k doing maintenance on a multimillion dollar supercomputer.
Where the fuck are you working and where can I apply?
>>53604762
kek, that's what I make being a neet in Scandinavia
well, tell us what the work is, faggot
>>53602603
I thought he was implying it was amazingly good. So good that it doesn't make sense and is not sustainable.
>>53602522
>yfw you find out interns make more than actual employees
they know that once you're settled into the industry you'll just have to negotiate to keep your job in when they endanger it with pajeet
>also have internship this summer
>8500/mo
>Not in Silicon Valley
>>53606169
Only if you are working for a shitty company.
>>53606365

>>53602522
Where are you guys hearing about these internships? I'm trying to find one for this summer as well.
Also a Sophomore in CS.
>>53611509
I don't really hear about them, per say. I know what competitive companies offer summer internships and applied to those.
As for yourself, it's getting a little late in the recruiting cycle. You should look for more local companies. Try indeed.com or your school's job postings board. Otherwise ask your classmates if any of their companies are still hiring interns
>>53611549
Thank you, I appreciate the advice.
Did you people land an internship after your first year?
>>53611509
I found my company at a career fair on campus. But I applied to other companies meanwhile online. I never submitted a cover letter or anything, just threw my resume at the wind. So apply to as many places as possible!
It's still not too late, maybe for big companies, but lots of startups are in their main hiring phases now. So check out AngelList or CrunchBase for places and shoot some resumes in.
>>53602615
Ohhh fffuuucccckkkkk
>>53602522
good for you, pajeet
remember to shit in the toilet from now on. they haven't designated a street for shitting in the bay area just yet.
>>53612289
How far in your studies are you and what kind of things did you put on your resume?
>>53612426
I'm OP, so junior. I love TAing, so pretty much teaching and some school projects
>>53612837
>junior
Which year is that in non-anglo terms? 3rd?
>>53612897
>non-anglo
yup 3rd
>>53602522
I studied medical research, graduated with honors, make like $2000 per month, and it was very dificult to get this job
>>53602608
>Set aside 20% for taxes.
Wish my taxes were so low.
>>53612289
Thanks man! I appreciate your advice!
>>53602653
wtf
who are working for? or at least can you give us hints? company we all know of?
is it fucking google?
>>53614162
I don't think Google pays that much for interns. He said it was a startup.
>>53602522
Oh hi moot!!!
>>53602522
>Are we headed for a crash
