#32 More Things You Need To Know Before Hiring Startup Interns:
(1): Hiring season started last Oct/Nov for competitive tech internships. You're way late if you're starting now.
(2): You should pay more than $15-$30/hour for an excellent CS intern -- rates are increasing every year, even up to the monthly rate equivalent of six figure salaries at large companies (Facebook, Google, Dropbox, Amazon, etc).

Agree that this isn't that relevant for cs interns. But smaller startups don't hire interns in 6 months in advance. There are still great people available and it would be odd for them to prioritize hiring an intern that far in advance.

Regarding 2, most startups don't have the same resources as larger companies and may not be able to pay their CS interns as competitively. So then the question I guess is, how do startups snag awesome CS interns when they're being paid more at other places?

Seems like the main leverage you could have over those companies as a local startup is not requiring your interns to move to SF/NYC/Boston for the summer, in the case where that's not something they want to do for whatever reason.
That doesn't help if your startup is in SF/NYC/Boston, though. :)
