If you're a college student hoping to improve your resume and actually make some real money as an intern this summer, it definitely helps if you can code: Silicon Valley tech companies dominated Glassdoor's new list of best-paying internships for the year, published Tuesday.
With the exception of Exxon Mobile and Bloomberg L.P., all of the ten highest-paying internships are involved in the technology sector in some way.
These interns are often being paid wages that put them among the highest-compensated workers in the country — interns or not.
At Facebook, for example, which has the highest-paid interns according to the report, interns earn a median monthly salary of $8,000. That works out to an annual salary of roughly $96,000, almost double the median salary of $51,336 for US workers of any age.
In order to make Glassdoor's list, each company needed to receive at least 25 reported intern salaries in between April 2016 and April 2017, and only US-based internships were considered. Curious as to how your dream employer stacks up?
You can check out the top 11 paid roles below.
11. Google - Median monthly pay: $6,000
Employees rave about working at Google, pointing to high pay and a fast-paced work environment. Aside from expectedly long hours and a tough commute into the Mountain View office, employees seem to have little to complain about.
10. VMware - Median monthly pay: $6,080
It may not be as well-known as some of the other companies on the top-10 list, but the Dell subsidiary pays top dollar and offers internships around the world. Interns report getting to do meaningful work, but also say the Dell acquisition created a degree of uncertainty at the company.
9. Yahoo - Median monthly pay: $6,080
8. Yelp - Median monthly pay: $6,400
Yelp hires about 150 interns each year, according to Glassdoor, meaning they have a significant impact on the company, particularly engineers. Still, many entry-level hires do complain about low wages and inexperienced management.
7. Bloomberg L.P. - Median monthly pay: $6,400
6. Apple - Median monthly pay: $6,400
It's no surprise that Apple is a coveted place to work, and interns report a startup-like work environment with lots of actual responsibility, as opposed to coffee runs. A handful of internship openings are still available, albeit all for technical and engineering roles.
5. Amazon - Median monthly pay: $6,400
Amazon interns are paid well but here's hoping you speak Spanish or German, since all the remaining listings are based in Mexico City and Munich.
4. Salesforce - Median monthly pay: $6,450
In addition to large salaries, prospective interns for Salesforce benefit from a degree of geographic diversity: The company is currently accepting intern applications in offices across the U.S. and Europe.
3. ExxonMobil - Median monthly pay: $6,507
ExxonMobil is mostly interested in people with an engineering or economics background, although the salaries are high. Exxon internships are also designed to look like the company's entry-level jobs, making a spot as an intern a good gateway to the energy industry.
2. Microsoft - Median monthly pay: $7,100
Microsoft is a great place for early starters. The median internship salary is more than $7,000 per month, and the company also offers the Explore Microsoft program, a 12-week rotational internship for freshman and sophomores.
1. Facebook - Median monthly pay: $8,000
Facebook interns fetch the highest monthly wages in the country, according to Glassdoor, and alums report amazing perks from free food and events to swanky housing.
