Facebook Interns Make $75k A Year

Anyway, my gut feeling tells me that esp. in this economy and even in San Fran, if they offered "only" $55-65k instead of $65-75k for interns, FB would still be OK.

They wouldn't get the talent they wanted for $55k.

In this economy when there's supposedly a lot of engineering/comp-sci kids looking for internships (and jobs) that have relatively limited availability?

Companies at this level only recruits from the top engineering schools, think top 10 or maybe top 20. That costs money.

I worked as an intern for Microsoft this past summer. Compared to Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, this is a little lower, although comparable. Interns make roughly ~75-80% of a full time employee.

Also, keep in mind that these are mostly interns without completing their Bachelor's Degrees yet. I worked as an Electrical Engineering Microsoft at intern before taking a full time offer. My roommate was a CS major working as a Software Development intern graduating with his BS the next Fall Semester, and made the same amount as me. Quite a bit of cash since we were living in Redmond, WA.
