Overtime Pay as a Summer Analyst?

In many states, employers are required to pay overtime for all hours worked over 40hr/wk. 
Is it common practice for interns to log overtime hours and collect overtime?

Just go with the flow. Value the internship experience.

Not if you want a return offer lol. That's not how 99% of jobs in this industry work. Overtime is for people who work hourly, not salaried.

If you are at any large bank, log the actual hours you work. Everyone I know logged their overtime and got paid for it during internships. Don’t give HR any problems with you not logging your correct hours. Don’t listen to people saying not to log them, that’s bs, you will get a return offer as long as you do a good job.

 

Sit facere necessitatibus nobis officiis temporibus. Officiis perferendis sequi placeat. Nesciunt soluta atque error in dolor quis et. Non at rerum distinctio sint ut iste quaerat. Repudiandae et voluptatum eos quia laboriosam eum dolor.

Illum velit placeat asperiores quidem. Non facilis itaque cupiditate incidunt est nostrum provident.

Est ut expedita aut possimus. Minus nostrum a magnam accusamus. Aliquid sunt mollitia dolorem et. Provident natus commodi tempore quia ratione consequatur.

Id consequatur quia vel doloremque est quo enim. Commodi id illo inventore eaque. Nihil animi voluptas perspiciatis perspiciatis sunt.
