What if the firm is doing pretty well; like, deals totaling $billions, bunch of highly experienced MDs, located in Financial District of Boston, etc.

So if I am working for, say, 14 weeks. Can I safely assume around $15-20K for the summer?

Thank you all for your responses.

When you refer to a MM IB, are you talking about a firm like Houlihan Lokey or a firm that few people have heard of. An internship with a boutique that advises on middle market transactions can still be unpaid

 

Nope, it's not an elite boutique like HLHZ/Greenhill, though it is pretty big; deals totaling $billions and located in Boston Financial District.
