Google's (GOOG) interns held coveted positions even before being featured in the film "The Internship," which hit theaters this weekend. On average, interns there are paid $5,800 monthly, while specialized software engineer interns make as much as $6,700 per month, according to the job-rating website Glassdoor.
Remember that Google pays interns fairly well. It's not like he's running copies and picking up coffee for people at some random office.
Considering that tech jobs I’ve seen advertised in England pay between 1/3 and 1/10 of what I would expect a similar job in the US to pay, that seems about right.
