I've been surprised at how many people think it's reasonable for companies like Lyft and Google to cut intern pay IME, opportunity cost of having senior devs ramp up interns dominates monetary cost, making intern pay cuts pointless https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23047687 … https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22954012 …

I've wondered. At my mid-size org: - huge classes (+15% to eng) - useful, if not critical work - <15% join full time Hard to justify, on ROI alone. But former interns are often excellent hires, with above-average tenures.

I don't really know how to plug that into cost metrics for hiring in general. Interviewing is so expensive, with hit and miss results. Mentoring time is expensive too, but at least it is enjoyable.
