It’s probably not too surprising that Facebook’s interns bring in the most money, topping the list at $8,000 per month. These candidates make the same amount as information security analysts, who earn $96,040 yearly.
Facebook offers a wide range of internships in engineering, tech, design and business. Current security engineering intern Leah Plofchan told Fox Business that the job is rewarding. “I think it was like the second or third day … I actually pushed code that went live on the Facebook code base which is really cool.”
Not only are these employees padding their pockets, they also get to live and eat for free on the Facebook campus. Plus, the social media company offers its interns a space to get creative by offering up use of an on-site arcade, art studio and wood shop.
