Layoffs in the tech industry have become mainstream over the past year as companies like Amazon and Meta trim their workforces following pandemic overhiring.

But while many tech giants are scaling back spending, the tech sector remains an industry with high-paying internships — some of which offer over $9,000 a month. A new report by Glassdoor found that of the 25 highest-paying internships for 2023, 16 were at tech companies.

Stripe, a financial services and software company, ranked No. 1 with a monthly salary of $9,064, followed by gaming platform Roblox with $,9016 per month for interns.

Big-name companies Meta ($8,160 a month) and Amazon ($7,809 a month) ranked No. 5 and No. 9, respectively.
