Stripe among firms that pay largest salaries for interns in the US, survey shows 

Stripe offers an average salary of more than $9,000 (€8,204) a month for the temporary, entry-level gigs, which mostly go to college students and recent graduates.

Founders of Stripe Patrick and John Collison announced in November they will cut 1,000 jobs, or 14% of its workforce, due to growing economic pressures.

Fintech firm Stripe, founded by Limerick brothers Patrick and John Collison, is among the 25 companies that offer the highest-paying internships in the US, despite the industry’s mass layoffs and shift to austerity in recent months.

Glassdoor, a website that compiles workers’ reviews of their employers, showed more than half of these highly paid internships are in the technology industry. The ranking was based on salary reports in the 12 months to March by current and former US-based interns on the platform.
