▬ Note about the salary ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
My employment contract was in British Pounds (GBP), and the aforementioned figure of $15,000 was my average salary throughout the internship. It was calculated by taking the base salary in GBP, adding the relocation bonus for the internship (and dividing it by the total number of months), and then I converted this figure into USD using the exchange rate at the time the contract was signed, which brings the average salary to $14,800 per month. Adjusted for inflation + including all the gifts (iPads, gift cards, ....) and housing that I received, the real salary would be closer to $17,000-$18,000.
