The highest-paid interns will rake in more than $9,000 per month this summer, which would amount to a six-figure salary for a full-time job.
Tech companies are offering the bulk of the most lucrative positions. A new report from Glassdoor found that 16 of the 25 highest-paying internships are in tech.
The list is topped by Stripe, an online payment company based in San Francisco, where interns earn an average of $9,064 per month. Tech giants including Nvidia ($8,280), Meta ($8,160) and Amazon ($7,809) accompanied Stripe in the top 10.
“While the tech industry, among others, has taken recent hits with layoffs, this list offers hope for those hoping to at least get their foot in the door through an internship,” the report said.
