So, what would an internship @ MS pay?

[Kenazo]

my friend landed an internship in Seattle working for MS. Any clue what something like that would pay?

 

[Brackis]

Depends on if he is doing extra "work" on the side.

 

[austin316]

$20 an hour.

Salary
Yep. You're paid. But we can't give out numbers on the Web site. The money is comparable with other internships in the industry.

Meaning probobly somewhere in the 15-20 range depending on what your doing and what your being hired on for...but after all those benefits...who cares?

when my friend was interning at MS, he was getting 26/hr

 

[Kenazo]

Man, I'm totally in the wrong field then. That's pretty good money.

Actually the suckers get paid the most I would guess

26$/hr for an intern? Damn that is good.

 

[amoeba]

MS pays very well.

26/hour sounds about right.

new grad full time typically gets around 75k

 

[iwantanewcomputer]

depends on your experience level in that field and what year in school you are and how much they want you, but between 15 and 25 for most engineering internships at large companies

 

[MuffD]

At my work, they pay $20.00 an hour for someone that is a CS or EE major.

IIRC he's graduating w/ his Bsc next spring, or maybe he'll be done in December, I don't remember.

a friend of mine got an internship there this summer and says he's getting about $5k/month

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

What kind of internship can a guy with Engineering or programming skill get? I can type and generally slack off all day but make it look like I'm working. Kinda like posting here. All my boss hears is me typing away, so he thinks I'm working on reports.

msft finance pays around 20/hr for business analyst interns

my friend made that much as well when he was interning there.

 

[gopunk]

15 would be way low for MS... i would expect at least 23

 

[rudder]

They pay you with beta versions of longhorn os.

 

[NogginBoink]

The monetary compensation is probably the least valuable thing he gets from an internship at MSFT.
