Investment Bank with Fee Based Comp

Hey everyone,

I've been doing an internship at a small boutique bank since January. The internship is paid, but only in fees when a deal closes. I'm a college student, so obviously being paid would be great. Anybody have experience with this? How long should I expect it to take for a deal to close if most have been worked on for close to 4 months maybe going on 5 next month? Also, what percentage do you think they'd realistically pay an intern?

Thanks in advance.

 

If you don't have a written contract with a fixed fee % you're not getting paid, or your not getting paid much at all. How many hrs / week are you working?

I'm only there two days a week. Just a further question now. Since I've been there since January, and I've already secured a PE internship for the summer, should I cut my losses. I pay for train tickets down to the job and now can put down 3 months worth of experience.

 

I would cut and run if you’re not furthering your learning and it begins to drag on your school work. You most likely won’t be paid. Spin it as a 10 week winter/spring internship for interviews and move on to your summer gig.
