How much should a MBA searcher get paid for an internship?

I am very, very new to the finance world. I see the posts on this board and feel like a kindergarten kid reading it. I'm leaving oil and gas to get a full time MBA at a top 10 program. I applied to internships and came across a search internship. What is the pay you can expect from an established firm?

As far as pay for an internship, I personally think doing a search find internship is a waste of time for an MBA. If you want to search, then do your own search for 2-3 months in the summer. In my opinion second year of b school and the summer are ideal times to look for a company to buy if you can raise the capital to do it. My first year was the hardest academic experience I'd ever had but second year was basically like studying hobby topics at a country club. You have time to go places and play video games and drink. So you might as well search during the time too. Direct message me if you'd like more of my endless opinions but I feel the way you're looking at this should be amended.
