Jane Street pays interns a little more than $60/hr. Pretty competitive. Definitely in line with unicorns and big tech ($50/hr @ FB and AirBnb, $45 @ Apple, etc)

Airbnb is ~$40 an hour but they have unlimited overtime.

From what I've heard Apple starts at $38 an hour.

FB isn't hourly, it's $8k a month.

Amazon is $7.725k a month or $7.2k if you take corporate housing. It's more in California and NYC - $8.4k a month, or $7.9k if you take corporate housing.

I was told Amazon interns also had to pay $300/mo for not particularly nice corporate housing in the UW dorms. My understanding was this was in additional to the salary reduction.

Nope, its only a salary reduction. In addition, they get a "husky card" with a daily stipend for on-campus dining hall/food court meals/gym entrance etc - a few friends of mine took it and they said the value of the husky card was more than $300 if they spent all of it.

Also, UW Dorms are only for summer interns. Off cycle interns live in 1 bedroom apartments in SLU. They're really nice with a $500 salary reduction.
