It\u2019s May and that means the\u00a0window\u00a0for locking down internships at tech companies\u00a0is rapidly closing. In reflection of\u00a0the 2017 recruiting season, Glassdoor took some time to analyze\u00a0its anonymized\u00a0salary data, producing a report of the highest paying internships for 2017.<\/a><\/p>\n

We went ahead and pulled the tech companies from the list, and among large tech companies, Facebook leads the pack with an average salary of $8,000 per month for interns.\u00a0Quickly converting that into a yearly salary yields $96,000. It goes without saying, that figure is quite\u00a0high.<\/p>\n

One major category of tech company that is\u00a0absent on Glassdoor\u2019s list is startups. Companies like Dropbox\u00a0and Snap notoriously pay some of the highest salaries in the industry. Glassdoor\u2019s own data indicates that these companies can offer monthly pay of over $9,000 per month, which converts to $108,000 on a yearly basis.<\/p>\n

Another thing to remember when looking at Glassdoor\u2019s report is that not all interns are created equal. It\u2019s easy to imagine interns grabbing coffee and making copies, but companies like Facebook offer internships to PhD students deep into their thesis\u2019 on machine learning at Stanford. That kind of pedigree commands a much higher salary than an undergraduate computer science major.\u00a0The title of \u201csoftware engineering intern\u201d largely self selects for this, but it\u2019s quite possible that some of these numbers are inflated by outliers.<\/p>\n

Most of the companies that made the list are located in\u00a0cities that have a high cost of living like San Francisco and New York City. In some cases, interns can receive housing as part of their complete\u00a0package in addition to other benefits that would push the true value of their\u00a0summer compensation even higher.<\/p>\n
