I got an offer for an internship at an asset management/hedge fund but the pay was on the low side. I was wondering if interns generally negotiate offers (I plan to regardless of what usually happens), and how best to proceed. Thanks.

No. You're lucky to even have an internship(assuming you're a junior).
I'm a sophomore at a target, and found the internship through career center recruiting. The lady said, "we pay our undergraduates $xxx." I mean, it can't hurt to ask for more right?
careful not to upset anybody. your internship experience is highly dependent on how your senior coworkers like you, and whether your work will be good or shit is up to them. if you come across as an ass hole, you will be treated like one. besides, who cares if your summer doesn't pay so well, that isn't really the point of the internship anyway
What is X? throw us a bone, we can help you figure out if it really is low.
~650/wk
I had an internship w/ a BB when I was a soph and got $1100/wk w/ a $2000 lump-sum housing subsidy. However, as a sophomore you shouldn't really be caring what they pay you since this internship puts you in the front pack for next summer in terms of internships. That's what's really important. I say shut the fuck up and don't ruin a good thing by bitching over a few thousand dollars.
650/wk isn't that bad.
How about working there for a few weeks and trying to get a raise when you've proven how good you are?
If you really do impress them, I'm sure they will gladly give you a bonus at the end of your internship, but you will look like an absolute tool if you ask for more money.
Hey man, I'm just offering some advice to this guy. I'm perfectly satisfied with my salary :)
yea i guess i should be doing it for the experience anyway and not for the money. Oh well I'll wait until next year to cash in =D
