MBB internship Overtime Pay?

I have an MBB undergrad summer internship in an east coast office NY/Boston/Chicago and was wondering if I'm actually gonna get payed for overtime. Am I gonna be able to get played for 20 hours of overtime or do they limit it?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there is no specific mention of MBB (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) offering overtime pay for their summer interns. While investment banks often have structured overtime policies, consulting firms like MBB typically pay a flat rate for internships, and overtime compensation is not standard practice.

If you're working in an MBB internship, it's unlikely you'll be paid extra for overtime hours. Instead, your compensation is generally fixed, regardless of the number of hours worked. If you're concerned about this, it might be worth clarifying directly with your recruiter or HR contact at the firm.
