Got a call from a PE firm for a mini-interview telling me their internship was a 6 month unpaid internship. I am ok with a unpaid internship but how do they expect students to do an internship for six months on an 8-5 schedule? Thoughts on why they do this?

They expect you to work 8-5 during the week? Or you would have an 8-5 schedule, encompassing class and internship?

How legit is the PE firm? I'm guessing not very, but you never know these days...

I am not really sure. It's called Blackmore Partners. Heard of them?
