For summer interns, expect FT analyst base (60k +/- 5k or 10k), some "transition payment" (usually 1 - 2k), which doubles up as a sort of "bonus".

Pay for SAs is pretty standard across the board. Banks typically work the SAs to the same degree, and their contribution to the firm is not significant enough to justify a price battle. Besides, from the intern's perspective, the difference in +/-5k across firms when you're only working for 2+ months will not make much of a tangible difference to your total pay package, and at the intern level, it's not worth sacrificing a good experience for higher pay.

I could be wrong about this, but it seems that in terms of absolute value, you will likely not be paid the same as a UK intern. What matters is the purchasing power of the dollar vs. the pound. You will, however, be paid an equivalent value. It's common sense.

I cannot say anything about signing bonuses etc for FT this year - things seem to be up in the air right now, with estimates all over the place.

 
buttercup87^^ glad you had the patience to actually type that out. I don't know why the search isn't used more often considering there are like 5 active threads on this topic alone.

Hey, I'm new to this community. I still believe I can make a difference. :-D

 

I did an internship at JPM London last summer (M&A). I used to get little bit more than GBP3000 per month. NO BONUS.. The good news is that I got an offer from them to work in their new office in Saudi Arabia (which I'm originally from).

Hope this was helpful
