Comment on Hackers: Intern for the Summer, Get Paid for a Yearparent

Comments

$30/hr? I think you're wildly overstating what typical interns make.

Well, I'm only speaking from my own experience. I wasn't talking about "typical interns", because the original article specifically said they were looking for "amazing hackers". But I think most good student hackers will have a very good chance of getting an internship offer from Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, and so on, and AFAIK they all pay somewhere in the ballpark of $5k/month.

Interns aren't full-time employees, and they come with zero industry experience.

Sure, but if you want to hire top college grads, a very effective way to do so is to hire them as interns, pay them well, and give them a good experience.
