Wachovia pays overtime, 1.5 of normal hourly pay for anything past 40 hrs/week.

wachovia interns only work 8 weeks, though. salaries, or so i'm told, typically come out to the ~13k that people will earn at other banks working 10 weeks.

 

If I were you, i wouldn't be worrying about salaries at this stage. But about learning a lot and making the right impression to get a full-time offer

 

haha, people are so obnoxious.

the poster did ask about MMs, which I would put Wachovia into...

sorry that all people can't go to schools that GS/MS recruit like crazy at :)

 

Regardless of a debate over which banks/schools are "worthy." I think the real issue is that most college kids get way too hung up on compensation. My approach to my summer was that if I can land FT offer(s), enjoy myself and build a good network while not having to take a penny out of my own pocket and only using what the bank paid me, then it was successful. I think missing out on opportunities so you can squirrel away 1.5k or w/e is just stupid and hurts you in the long run.

 
coltsreignDoes any other bank pay for hours worked after 40?

CS rate is 14.42/hour after 40. So it's not time and 1/2?

??? what do you mean? in my letter said .5 time after 40 5

 

with overtime calc included i heard that DB interns came out of the summer with around 20 all in....i wouldn't expect 30k from anywhere

 

friend's offer letter: regular wage based on 60k yearly salary divided into 40 hour weeks ~ 30/hr OT wage based on 1.5x regular ~ 45/hr assuming 80 hour weeks for 10 weeks results in 30k they also provide 2k for relocation

and DB summer interns also get paid OT

The banks may say they'll pay you overtime, but they won't. You guys are naive if you think an analyst will be taking home 30K for the summer.

I just finished my MBA. MBAs at all banks in any role (IB, S&T, etc.) all got there prorated salary, which is 95K, which is a little under 8K per month. Work 10 weeks, make about $20K for the summer. Then get $5-10K for summer bonus. No one made more, and that was last summer.

There's no friggin way an summer analyst is making more than a summer associate. Those "overtime" numbers some of the banks claim to pay you are bs, because they just screw you somewhere else.

 

As an example, the associate stub bonuses this year were 45K pretty much across the street for IB, S&T, etc. All the same. Well, Citi came in and gave 40K. From my buddies there I heard the rationale given was that the other 5K they essentially already got because Citi actually tries to abide by the overtime rule in New York (most of the banks don't abide by it). So if Citi did in fact give them overtime, then they just took the difference out of the stub. Pay packages the first year or two out of school are remarkably similary from one sell-side bank to another.
