I remember hearing about or maybe even reading on WSO that some undegrad made just under $40k in a 10 week BB SA stint in IBD because they paid by the hour. I'm still undecided as to whether or not I believe it, but $9k is definitely possible.

I made $20K at my summer banking internship because I was hourly, and got time and a half for all hours over 40. Really adds up when you pull 90 hour weeks. HR didn't know what they were getting into when they put the banking interns in the same pay bucket as all the other interns, heh. I was making a higher base than the analysts in the cube next to me :)

diamond90 hours as a summer?
Not every week, but it happened more than once. Average was more like 75.

before tax i pulled in 24k this summer. some other kid who padded hours on a weekly basis (not that anyone checks/cares) pulled in close to ~30 (pre-tax). after tax its a bit more than half of that amount
