Actual compensation based on geographic location, work experience, education, licensure requirements and/or skill level and will be finalized at time of offer. Salary Range (Non-Exempt expressed as hourly; Exempt expressed as yearly) $24 - $24 / hour. So pay is $24/hour (both min and max same). That is specific. So we can include Pay section with that.

Actually sentences: Work alongside experienced professionals, Gain career direction to help you achieve your professional and personal goals., Contribute to work that helps more people and businesses around the world save enough, have enough and protect enough., Explore new perspectives in an inclusive, welcoming culture.
- "Internship Stipend": You will receive a lump sum stipend of $4,000. This amount is intended to support incidental expenses you may incur as part of your internship. The Company will provide a tax gross-up on this stipend as a financial benefit, but is not intended to compensate for all tax liabilities.
- "Location(s)": This internship is unique in that you will spend the first 5-weeks at our headquarters in Des Moines, IA and the last 5-weeks at one of the respective sales office locations listed above.
- "Work Authorization/Sponsorship": At this time, we're not considering applicants that need any type of immigration sponsorship (additional work authorization or permanent work authorization) now or in the future to work in the United States.

Nonimmigrant Workers and Green Card for Employment-Based Immigrants

These same requirements may also apply to other positions across the organization.
- "Experience Principal": paragraph about connecting personal and professional level, imagining a more purpose-led future for financial services – and that starts with you. Our success depends on the unique experiences, backgrounds, and talents of our interns.
- "Principal is an Equal Opportunity Employer": EEO boilerplate - must remove.
- "Posting Window": details about application timeline - maybe considered boilerplate? It's about posting window, not substantive about role. Likely remove as it's application instructions / posting metadata. The instruction says remove application instructions. So remove Posting Window, Original Posting Date, Most Recently Posted Date, etc.
- "Principal uses artificial intelligence tools...": that's about AI in recruitment, maybe considered boilerplate? It's about process; likely remove as it's not substantive about role. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is about AI tools in recruitment; could be considered part of application process, maybe remove. Safer to remove.
- "Please review our Workforce (U.S.) Privacy Notice...": also remove.
Thus we need to keep substantive content: What You'll Do (role description), Who You Are (qualifications/requirements), Salary Range Information (pay), Time Off Program (benefits?), Pension Eligible (maybe benefits?), Our Internship Culture (benefits/culture), Through your experience... (maybe responsibilities or benefits), Internship Stipend (benefit), Location(s) (maybe schedule? Actually location details), Work Authorization/Sponsorship (maybe a requirement), Investment Code of Ethics (maybe a requirement), Experience Principal (maybe culture). We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
- About the role: could be the introductory description of role (What You'll Do). Could also include mission statement.

Also Work Authorization/Sponsorship (no sponsorship). Also Investment Code of Ethics (maybe a requirement). Could combine.

- Pay: Salary Range Information: $24/hour.

We must not create sections with placeholder or vague content. All content we include must be substantive.

We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
