during my internship in the beginning of the summer you have to fill out a bunch of forms for compliance and other reasons. there is one part where you can declare that you live in nyc or your home state. so basically, unless you live in nyc anyway you shouldn't have to pay nyc taxes

 

You get overtime, correct? My MM offer in NYC is 20 per hour base, with overtime after 40 hours, and you average 70 hours a week...making it 1700 a week if you consistently work 70. Plus 1K front end bonus makes it 18K for 10 weeks at 70 hours per. Unfortunately, since I'll be living in NYC, that ends up being like 4 - 5 G's pocketed...oh well.

I'm assuming BB's also track on an hourly basis - I know CS does.

No, most BBs do not pay you hourly. CS does in SF, although I'm not sure if they still do in NY. DB used to as well, but I believe they quit w/in the last 2 years. Had a good friend working at CS SF who pulled in over 40K for the summer playing soccer in the bullpens until 3 or 4 in the morning 'waiting for work' (/raking in the dough).

Pretty much every other major bank pays you a prorated salary plus a housing stipend.

 

Last year UBS did pay its IBD summer analysts "half time." After 40 hours it worked out something like 27-28 bucks an hour, which all the summers were very happy about. In the current market however, it remains to be seen whether that will be done again. It was actually a late decision made by the bank that most people were unaware of until orientation.

I have heard of other banks paying overtime to their summers, but in each case the year after it was done it was cancelled. The two banks I heard that did it were Deutsche Bank and CS (possibly regional offices) and everyone heard of the kid or two who supposedly made 30K. I have also heard of some back office departments doing it, however the difference in hours makes it irrelevant.

 

^^ That's kind of messed up...So you basically get bonus-taxes and if you don t complete the summer then you pay back from your own pocket?? ( I am assuming that taxes are taken out from the bonus)...

I had a friend intern at Deutsche Bank in summer 0f 2007 and he was paid overtime (1.5X base). He was in tech though and generally pulled 60 hour weeks.

 

So how does overtime actually get calculated? Do they just divide one's weekly salary (based on an annual salary) in to an hourly wage and then add half of that amount to one's "regular weekly salary" after 40 hours?

 

Making as much as the IB guys!? Which IB guys?

I had multiple friends doing SAs in CA offices last summer, and because of the overtime laws here in CA, all of them made somewhere in the range of $35k - $45k because their pay was hourly.

I'm really not trying to hate on the Big 4, but 45 is closing in on what you guys make in a year. It's just hard to believe without further clarification...

Dude, 45k in a summer as a summer analyst? This is complete and utter bullshit, you are stupid if you believe it...

 

So you're getting, what, 25$ an hour? I could see how "with working xxx hours" you would make as much as an IB analyst getting a flat rate for the same period. But. You are not going to be making 130k at the big 4 when you graduate.

Take it for what it is and enjoy it... don't think you really need to compare d1cks as an intern, the pay is almost irrelevant in the long run.

You will certainly have to eat some hours, but I have not heard from other interns in big4 that its significant, but assume if you're there 8-6 thats probably 8 hours of work.

Still not sure if I want to spend the next 30+ years grinding away in corporate finance and the WSO dream chase or look to have enough passive income to live simply and work minimally.
 

nouveau riche is right...because of the laws in CA interns are paid on an hourly basis. I had a few friends that interned at CS and GS in LA and both were paid this way. This means that your base pay is ~$35/hour for the first 40 hours you work, then 1.5x times base for the next 10 hours, then 2x base for any hours after 50 hours in a week. If you work on average 80 hours per week for the 10 week internship you'll pull in ~$40K.

 

In a couple of years from now, aren't we all destine to be millionaires by 30 if we work at a BB. Anyhow, how much is the typical total salary after SA in NY is finished? Since overtime is expected during the 10 week internship.
