Question: What’s your take on hiring interns?

Below is a rough example of what a post could look like for this prompt. Feel free to edit it to reflect your own experience.

Post Template:

Hook:

Cluely's interns make between $50/hour to $200/hour.

Tease:

Here’s why you should be paying your interns more money:

In the past two months since launch, our interns have helped us scale to $6M ARR.

They’ve gotten millions of views on social media, managed a crazy marketing budget, and helped us solve some of our hardest technical challenges.

This wasn't an accident. It's what happens when you:

Value:

- Hire extremely talented people

- Pay them what they're actually worth

- Hold them to super high standards

I've never understood founders who expect 12-hour days and exceptional results from interns while paying them minimum wage.

If you're underpaying high-performing interns, you're actively sabotaging your company's potential and not saving your company much money. People work harder when they’re paid what they’re worth.
