5k for internship very believable la but only if you're in consulting or high finance and maybe tech.

MS, GS, JPM, Citi, Barclays, Nomura... Etc large foreign banks all pay their Sales and Trading and Investment Banking interns 8 - 10k. JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs even send their interns to HK for all expenses paid training.

But the chances of landing those internships are super slim.

When you're unaware, it doesn't mean that these internships don't exist. Please update yourself with the current climate before you come here to kpkb.
