Depends on where you live. If you live in NYC, your income is taxed about 37 percent by the time you see your check. The Business ranking is for 2007 before the recession, so that list is not reliable.

Also at some BB you get 2 bonuses from $1000-3000. with your wage The most I seen was a about $30 per hour for investment banking.

If you land an internship with GS, MS, or JPM; you are pretty much set to get any interviews with other banks in your senior year.

 

It's not listed on that BusinessWeek link, but Chevron pays pretty well apparently. $30+ per hour from what a friend has told me. Can't confirm for sure though.

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.

$70k prorated is what I'm hearing for all BB SAs I know. Plus housing & expenses. Interestingly, this seems universal across banks, groups, and cities. My S&T pay and allowances are literally identical (to the dollar) to those of a buddy in the IBD at a different BB on the other side of the country.

The highest intern pay I've ever heard of, funnily enough, had nothing to do with finance or even business at all. A friend made $25/hr for 45 hours/week for a 12-week computer science internship at a startup (well, 10 years old anyway) you've never heard of. That's about on par with banking already, but he also got a cool $5,000 bonus at the end of the summer. Granted it was his second internship at that place and he's some kind of a coding prodigy, but making close to $19,000 in a summer is insane.

 

Some banks in Denmark often pay "min. 30.000 DKK", which is about 5.250 USD. You also get the bonus.

Not all positions of course, but yes, internships. Keep in mind that most of the internship programmes there require master degree tho.

 

Judging from this chart of Wharton Junior SA in 2011, there are definitely some higher paying ones. http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/undergrad/reports/WHA_2012summ… The maximum one person got was 14,000...

Edit: There is more statistics for the finance field, most of the sectors in finance pay more than 5k a month on average .
