Yeah if you are working that much, I think the company is taking you for a ride. gamblingeconomist Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > anishcandy Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Parikh, An internship in the US is mostly > unpaid > > unless otherwise specified.

I am still doing it, because I think I can market myself after 6 months of intern experience. If I pass CFA level 2 this year, then it might help me to get an entry level analyst position in a boutique investment bank through Robert half or Glocap or any other executive recruiters…

Sounds to me like the > company is taking advantage. I don;t see how the company is taking advantage unless they were dishonest with the candidate. It was an arms-length transaction with a intellingent, mature individual who can theoretically decide what’s in his own best interests. As noted before, the “payments” is increased visibility and increased likelihood of getting a competitive IB job. He can ask for compensation for an internship which he agreed to take on an unpaid basis (hey, you can ask for anything), but that WILL make him look like a schmo.
