Paid. In France internships are regulated (you need to be enrolled as a student), meaning monthly ~600€ + accomodation + restaurant tickets (3€/day) + 50% on transportation + we fly you in and out. Adds to about 1000€/month. Starting net salaries for developers after tax/health/social/pension are not far above that. It's enough to get by in Lille and have a good time. Paris interns get +500€/month for rent, Munich and Plovdiv I'd have to check, Tokio we don't hire trainees at the moment.
Awesome!! In the US interns are slaves.
to be fair, not for reputable tech companies, which pay interns well
