Interns Pros & Cons
Hello all, we are considering hiring interns this year to assist with our search and light due diligence. Would love insights from those who have interns; from pay to duties and anything in between. Thank you in advance!

Every firm is different in practice and execution. There are many hungry and capable students out there who want to get a foot into this space, regardless of pay range. Speaking from experience having hired high performing interns, I also agree that the most successful interns I've had were the ones that were hired for an ongoing basis as opposed to 10 week summer interns.
I will note that part-time interns for a long period eventually reach the point where they can provide good quality work like full time interns simply from absorbing the knowledge of the firm's operations.

A pretty hit or miss game. A big issue is intern commitment. Most interns are just interested in resume padding. However, you may get lucky with a diligent undergrad interested in hands-on learning who ends up carrying the bulk of the work of his peers.
