Call Center isn't as easy as it sounds. I worked in that industry for 10 years.

All I know is the longer she stay working at jobs like McDonalds, the harder it would be for anyone to take her resume seriously (if she even has one to begin with)

I worked in the call centers to. That stupid bytch can get a job at a call center making 11.50

$45/hr + $1k/month stipend. So ~$52-53 an hour, yes. Software salaries can be pretty insane. I'm not even the highest paid out of my intern friend group (top 20 CS school). Highest paid is ~$12.5k/month.


I need to see receipts

Unless you are genius working for booz allen hamilton or Google, you arent making 95k as a programming intern

This is why anybody with common sense should be supporting our brothers and sisters with the fight for $15.

But of course, bootlickers gonna come in here caping for this exploitative, self-destructive ass system on some "bu bu bu get out and get it! So much money out here! you settling/depending on the white man!"
This would do more harm than good. For starters, it would destroy small businesses. These same businesses that circulate dollars back within their communities

Coli Capitalists just wanna replace the white boot that's on our necks with a black one and call it a day.

Receipt: 20 year old making 104k!!! Ayo @0xLaTeX, get in here brah!

Sorry bro, but you're completely and totally wrong.

Off the top of my head companies that pay ~95k or more to interns, most of which I have friends at:
- Airbnb
- Dropbox
- Square
- Asana
- Snapchat (~144k)
- Yelp (friend even got an offer to work part time during school for $48/hr as a contractor)
- Lyft
- Uber
- Amazon
- A9 (special division of Amazon, ~144k)
- Quora
- Pinterest
- Microsoft (even returning interns get a signing bonus, too)

I can keep going. There's a lot more.

Peep this thread if you don't believe me:

I agree with you. All I meant by my post is that I personally couldn't imagine raising a family on that wage, because I've never made that amount of money and I'm just a young single guy with no kids. I didn't mean to suggest she should be making more money.

Literally all you posted was a thread with no receipts.

Unfortunately for you I work for a financial firm that is basically a tech firm which allows us to do a lot of in house application and api development. We also have a fair amoimt of really good developers. Most of the elite ones are pulling 200k.

An average app dev is making 110k.

There is no intern in software development making 95k a year unless they are a phenomenal coder

Your story is bullshyt

The problem is not how much people are getting paid. The problem is people's lack of financial discipline. Put the minimum wage at $15 if you want, the average apartment is going to be $1,400 a month, in the iPhone is going to cost $1,600 on its release date.

Too many people are clueless on how to properly manage their money, and how much they can actually afford. The more they make, the more they're going to choose to spend. There was a time that people used to make $2 an hour and were not as broke overall is we are now, because more people knew the value of everything. Today, everybody only knows the price of everything.

What about the people that actually went to school, and actually have a job that requires skills that are of value in the job market? You think their employers are going to bump them from $18 an hour to 28? How would you feel if you spent money to go to school and learn a trade, only to find out that a McDonald's employee is making 3 - $5 less than you thanks to the stroke of a pen?

The pic didn't show up for you? Zoom in on the screen for my offer letter with details.

Also, not believing me aside, when you say no interns are making 95k except at Google.

When you don't want to go on Glassdoor, don't want to read thousands of data points from these companies and dismissing it as fake news, you're just being an irrational hater bro.

And it makes me very sad, because I want more of our people to get this money. There are so few black interns I run into. I am telling you as a first hand witness, there are much more than 2 companies that pay interns that much.

What interns and new grads really get paid at top tech companies

Honestly, ALL of those companies with the exception of Goldman, Microsoft, and Apple are tech companies with high stock value and a small payroll force.

Goldman Sachs don't created products.

Microsoft has an aging employee base that's either retiring or getting booted for younger cheaper talent.


But to your point, the intern pay you say you make is the exception, not the rule.

Correct. I was just trying to tell him that there is way more than just Google that pays that much. Hell, Google isn't even the highest paying for interns at all. There are literally thousands of interns every year making that much money.
