Bulge Bracket Summer Intern Salary Questions

Is 70k prorated for 10 weeks calculated as 70/52 * 10 or 70/(working weeks) * 10?

Also, in all honesty, how much can I expect to be left with in the summer (after housing in nyc/food/other expenses/taxes)? I've heard people come out with barely anything...

It's the former. You will get taxed at 33-35% all in, but you will get a decent refund when you file your tax return since the taxes were deducted based on the fact that you will have only worked 10 weeks, vs. 52.

Expect to break-even, or have some net savings after your summer is over post-rent and other expenses. But you should have received a $2k relocation bonus which should help you offset these expenditures assuming ur at a BB.

I'm assuming you blew 10k on hookers and booze, then wrote them off as "other expenses"? Did you claim it back as entertainment?
 

70k prorated / 52 weeks = 1346.15 * 2 biweekly gross = 2692.31 * (1-.33 Tax) = 1803.85 * 5 Pay Periods = 9019 + 2K Relocation * ~(1-.45 Tax) = 10119.23. That's assuming no OT. Unless your rent is 3000 dollars a month, I don't see how you end up with nothing..
