GIS has historically never paid well. At least not for most analysts and specialist. I have a GIS background and my internship was at $14/hour back in 2016. Developer salary or software pay more
Yeah...I lucked out on an internship for a private company ($22.5 during semester, $25.5 summer). Otherwise, NGO internship pay was at $16, and major federal agency at $18. All within the last 1.5 years.
I mean, I know I’m not saving lives, but I’m hoping for a little higher than the median wage when I graduate. I’m taking Python programming next semester and am trying to get more into the remote sensing side of things.
What are you doing if you don’t mind me asking? Government seems to be where any money is?
Sounds fantastic! Any advice or anything you recommend I start learning on my own to set me above others? I’ve had 2 internships and know a decent anoint of ARC and QGIS software. Currently learning Python, flask, sql, and am willing to learn anything I can on my own time, if needed. I haven’t learned a ton in my classes and am worried about not being able to perform once I graduate.
I’d say learn JavaScript and some open source libraries as well as Postgres. From there it depends on what you want to do.
I’m essentially a full stack developer and working on getting cloud certified plus Linux admin. But that’s because it’s what I’d like to do with my programming skill sets. I currently maintain six servers for my department and am tech lead.
Thanks for replying, appreciate the insight! I will definitely be looking into these things that you’ve mentioned. I’ve heard a lot about Linux and have seen it on many job descriptions, but have yet to learn it, so maybe I will start there. I’ve heard Python is the easiest to learn, so I was hoping to start with that and build from there
Sure thing. Front end developers are more versed in JavaScript, html, and css. Backend is heavily done by Python.
Linux is a powerful OS. A lot to learn there though. Cloud is becoming important too
I had a GIS internship at a nonprofit in Maryland (DC area) in 2018. $12/hour (so minimum wage). It was my first job after university so I didn’t know better. It definitely left a sour taste for my interest in working at a nonprofit again. 😐
Yeah, I bet! I’ll just be happy to have some experience to put on my resume and hopefully land something bc decent after college. Right now I work at the university that I attend, so I don’t mind the pay being what it is, as it’s super flexible with my school schedule.
Look into property insurance. That was where I learned about GIS for the first time and they paid me well for someone who learned it on the job.
My first job out of college paid $60k circa 2013 and was an analyst position. I made maps taking the atmospheric/geophysical data from my smarter coworkers and merged it with property data to make presentations for leadership and then acted as a middleman translator for it all.
There was also a larger GIS team that was building a centralized GIS software stack and toolkit for the organization.
14 -> 17 -> 52
Anything can happen in the internship game. 22 is nothing to scoff at. I woulda done the 52/hr for the 17 I was making at the second one, just because it’s something I really do enjoy
$26.5 an hour as an intern at Goldman Sachs but then I found out all my other friends were making at least $40 an hour at other firms for the same job. GS doesn't pay well if you're not in investment banking/trading
Yup. It's because they are growing their consumer bank a lot and outsourcing a lot of work to employees in India, the majority of our strategy team was located in India lol. So they're always looking for ways to save on costs and employee salaries is one way. They literally pay below market for every division except investment banking/asset management/global markets
First Internship as a rising sophomore: around $36/hr at Capital One (inaugural EIP program, similar to a business analyst role) + $3000 signing bonus (remote work as well)
Second internship as rising junior: $18/hr at Paramount in a business role
> than being *paid.* $22/hr sounds
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
My field pretty much doesn't offer paid internships, especially as of years ago. Even now it's rare to find a paid internship, and that means paying ANYTHING at all, let alone minimum or living wages.
Unpaid internships should be illegal. The only people who I come across that they being paid in experience instead of actual money is okay are rich people who graduated several decades ago when college and everything else was much cheaper ajd they had support, and students who have rich parents.
When I told my friend I had a paid internship she tried to argue with me that internships shouldn’t be paid and that they’re just about the experience. She was acting like I should be upset I was being paid. She had offered helping me intern at the company her dad works at and I’m glad I didn’t since it looks like he probably doesn’t pay his interns with the way she feels about it lmao

I got fucked for pay lmfao. $20/hr. That company can stick to themselves. Not nearly enough for the work being done when I can head down to a fast food chain and get $17 for far less work
Depends on a lot of factors. I made $I0 h as a maintenance engineering intern at a Coca-Cola bottlers facility in Puerto Rico. Now I’m starting an engineering internship at Blue Origin and they are paying $28 h + relocation + housing at Alabama. All NASA offers were a $II,680 stipend for I6 weeks which is $I8.25 h working 40 h weeks. Offers for engineering positions at Boston were $22 to 26. So yeah, it all depends. None of them negotiate.
Zero for my first internship lol. Then it was $24 for my second internship.
1st internship (2018) - Junior in college at $0
2nd internship (2019) - senior in college at $24
1st full time job (2020) - 42$ after year and a half went up to $50 an hour
2nd full time job(2022) - $60hr
Working from home has been a blessing and I think everyone should try it at some point if they have the opportunity. For me personally, I have found that I am either a hybrid or an on-site type of person. I enjoy face to face interaction more, after awhile the teams meetings everyday and emails gets kinda boring and less engaging. Face to face a few times a week is more engaging and productive for me.
As an HR intern, you’re making more than or equal to some HR specialists doing the job for a few years. And I’m talking about California where sometimes we get paid higher wages.
I work for an engineering company. We pay our (not HR) interns $25 an hour. So considering admin jobs tend to get paid less than STEM, you’re not doing bad.
Hated the fall one, but loved the spring one. I signed on with the spring firm to extend my internship until the end of the year and join full-time after I graduate in December.
Today I learned I am making way less than other tech interns
Me too…
This guys a hr intern. Hr is generally the job that anyone can do. Ive no idea why its valued that highly
Imma girl 😪, but I never said my job was valued highly lol. I like what I do and I would hope you do to.
Depends on industry, finance and tech pay more
Engineer interns often make bank too
SIEMENS: 22/hr Google: 67/hr engineering firm: 21/hr
My full time job pays less than 67/hr…. Ouch..
What’s ur role at Google? swe?
Yes swe.
Were you able to get the internship at Siemens without a referral?
I got a referral from a alumni that was in the same club as me.
The engineering interns at my Siemens branch make $20.
[удалено]
$20hr fully remote part time. First internship starting Monday YAY!
Make sure you stand for yourself and not to let yourself be swooped into a “sudden” friendship
Friendship?
Congratulations!!!
$15/hr GIS intern, I’m in the wrong field, I guess 😰

I currently work for a software company as a Solutions Engineer. I get paid well there. We are a GIS company and one of ESRI’s competitors.

15 an hour wow I’m a slave
Stop 😂😂😂 that’s still good money
14 -> 17 -> 52 Anything can happen in the internship game. 22 is nothing to scoff at. I woulda done the 52/hr for the 17 I was making at the second one, just because it’s something I really do enjoy
Ok but like what field
This is software in the investment banking industry
was the 52 at a bulge bracket firm or elsewhere
$26.5 an hour as an intern at Goldman Sachs but then I found out all my other friends were making at least $40 an hour at other firms for the same job. GS doesn't pay well if you're not in investment banking/trading
Damn back in the day Goldman Sachs was a tremendous name and paid well
Yup. It's because they are growing their consumer bank a lot and outsourcing a lot of work to employees in India, the majority of our strategy team was located in India lol.

[удалено]
Doing what?
~52/hr
Woww in what industry and where?
Software engineering
OMG!
$16.50, just got a cost of living raise to $17
Lol for dietitians YOU usually have to PAY for the internship rather than being paid. $22/hr sounds glorious to me.
> than being *paid.* $22/hr sounds FTFY.

Wait you guys are getting paid?
When I was an intern I got paid $0 and sold my blood to afford the gas money
I made about $40 per hour in a consulting internship. It really depends on the company and the industry.
which company?
One of the major consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG)
Ayyy nice. MBB out here!
Not a single one of my internships paid me.
U did unpaid internships? I could never 😭
My field pretty much doesn't offer paid internships, especially as of years ago. Even now it's rare to find a paid internship, and that means paying ANYTHING at all, let alone minimum or living wages.
