Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average salary for a business intern in 2026?
Business internships pay $16–$50/hr depending on the role and company. Finance and consulting internships at Big 4 firms pay $30–$50/hr. Sales and marketing internships typically pay $16–$25/hr. Leadership development programs start at $55,000–$85,000/year for full-time associates.
Which business roles have the highest starting salaries?
Investment banking analysts and management consulting associates earn $85,000–$120,000 at entry level at firms like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey. Big 4 accounting associates start at $65,000–$80,000. Sales development roles at tech companies can reach $70,000–$95,000 with on-target earnings.
What are leadership development programs (LDPs)?
LDPs are structured rotational entry-level programs where recent graduates cycle through 2–4 business functions over 2–3 years before settling into a specific role. Companies like GE, J&J, P&G, and American Express run well-known LDPs that accelerate participants into management roles faster than traditional paths.
How do I break into consulting without a target school background?
Focus on case interview practice (use Case in Point and Victor Cheng's materials), apply to mid-market consulting firms as entry points, and leverage any internship at a Big 4 firm. Boutique strategy firms and regional consulting offices are more accessible than MBB for candidates from non-target schools. Building quantitative skills and a strong project portfolio helps differentiate.
What skills do employers look for in business internship candidates?
Excel proficiency (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, financial modeling basics) is expected across finance, consulting, and operations roles. Communication and presentation skills matter for all business roles. Salesforce CRM knowledge helps for sales and marketing. For consulting, structured problem-solving demonstrated through case competition experience is the strongest differentiator.
