Don’t take this the wrong way, but coming from an intern - I think your answer is in your title. I’d work there for $25K annualized. It would be amazing experience and I’m probably not going to add a ton of value.

Vista Equity Partners doesn’t really even convert their interns anymore… you have to get it and then have a very targeted profile. I’d recommend F1 if you want to have your skills evaluated based on “ability”

 

Yeah for a summer though, 50k annually would come out to 8-9k depending on how long the internship is. That’s not bad money for an undergrad internship.

I was given a check for like 3k after interning at a bank during my sophomore year. It’s better than nothing and the experience helped me get into the industry. The money you make as a junior banker will always far exceed internship money.
