Interns Logging Overtime

Looking to gauge thoughts on this. Currently 1 of 6 interns on the floor. We are OT eligible and obviously work lots of overtime, but I find it a bit odd to be paid the amount we would be receiving if we logged the OT we actually worked. (x1.5 hourly wage which is already handsome)

I heard from one intern they are going to log their hours, others saying they will not, I am not logging mine at the moment because I do not want to be seen as greedy.

Anyone have thoughts on this or past experiences of an intern jeopardizing their FT offer? Doesn’t this take $ away from MDs?

Don't sweat it, they literally offer OT to entice you to come, you should use it and I'm sure if you tell this to your manager/any superior, they will laugh and definitely say submit it. You're basically cucking yourself if not, everyone knows interns are a cost so it's fine.

You think an MD is going to care about your 1.5x 3-4 hours per day? That's what, like an extra $200? With a bank doing +$30bn revenue potentially?

An fyi, HR once told me it costs few $k on average to actually find/hire an intern, so it's a drop in a bucket.

 

you should definitely log your hours, and get paid what you’re owed.

interned twice at a BB that offered overtime, and there was never an issue regarding that. just make sure you’re logging in hours you were actually working (i.e turning commenta for a deck, etc … i mean something that you can prove if you are ever asked to justify. for what i know, end of internship case studies were not allowed to be logged in).

hope this helps!
