>get at least $4k/mo to manage without savings

I'd love a $24/hr development position. Interns these days are getting paid too well. I interned for half as much and I'm not making much more.

Many larger companies pay experienced interns fairly close to what they pay new graduates, which can easily end up being $40+ / hour.

SF is really, really expensive.

I interned in SF and other than the rent, everything else is cheaper comparing to Canada. Aside from healthcare and education of course.
