Citadel hired 14 interns out of 69,000 applicants with a stipend of $19,000/month or Rs. 16Lakhs/month.

The interns flew to Hong Kong in business class from their home countries and got to stay at a five-star hotel.

And here we are just scrolling through this post.

16LPM INTERNSHIP

16LPM INTERNSHIP- Grapevine

I don't understand why companies here can't pay more than 30K per month for interns. I pitched for somewhere between 40K-45K so they can't seem to consider giving it. I have a good profile for that work too.

Why intern salary so less in India if not FAANG type?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

TLDR;

Had a data science intern join our team. His resume was really impressive, good academic record, had a couple of research internship (NUS, IIT), 4 papers in  journals etc. His interview was just okay, but we probably got biased by his resume which looked stellar.
This guy didn’t know very basic python programming. We gave him basic task of converting a image dataset from one format to another(very first step of developing ML model). Took a week, constantly badgered all the team members, would just randomly copy code from ChatGPT, and if it won’t work, would ask us to solve it for him. Didn’t figure it out in a week, and at the end of week, we arranged a meeting with him about the update of work. Turns out, he didn’t even understand the task clearly. But we didn’t mind him, as it was his first week and we cut him some slack. The next week, I understood that he struggled in programming so gave him very basic task. He just had to figure out a command line program. Took two days, gave the result without any documentation, and the very next day he asked whether he would get the credit of his work and that it would account for his decision to full time conversion. 
Then he started taking a leave, EVERY WEEK. We used to have scrum call at 10AM, this guy wakes up at 10:30AM, and tells that he slept late and would come to office by 11AM( we had work from office policy), and he would come around 11:30AM. Would slack at work the entire day, give him some basic task, would keep asking silly doubts, copy paste code from ChatGPT and ask us to solve the bugs. Come to office without taking bath, no professionalism at all. One day I scolded him a lot, to come at time, learn some professionalism( if he doesn’t have good skills, atleast a humble attitude and professionalism should be there), but dude had no effect, comes at 12PM the very next day, missing the scrum call again. Was scolded many times, but didn’t have effect on him. 50k/per month stipend, completely wasted.

Tell story of the worst intern that you had

Very recent one

He was like Hansa (remember the Khichdi show). He did one thing at one time and takes min two weeks for each. He was with us for 4 months- none of his tasks are complete. He will do no-brainer work well; bring paper, pen, and coffee.

We had Hybrid mode with no restrictions. Initially he would just take leaves and not inform. When scolded, he would message random stuff and say he will work from home. What are you working on?!

When he was in office, he would never be in his seat. Constantly call him where are you? I'm at the canteen, I am having coffee, I was out to lunch, I will not be able to do this because someone else asked me to print a paper (stupid reasons)

End of tenure, he comes to me with some marks sheet. and asks for PPO. 
I look him dead in the eyes and say you know you haven't worked in 4 months, I cannot recommend. You can speak with my boss if you like.

Obviously he didn’t get PPO, called me again after a week, asking to look into it.

P.S. I gave him full marks because no point fucking up his career. He is capable of it himself.

P.S.S. I had interviewed him and felt such a failure to have hired someone like him.

Recently set out to hire interns and had a really strange experience

Went through about 170 CVs. Most were shabbily formatted - which is okay, I understand most people aren’t that serious in college.

But then after shortlisting and setting up interviews:
- Multiple kids just did not show up for the interview. They did not even write a mail excusing themselves. Or reply to any mail from me about them missing the call.

- Some of them literally turned up for the call on their phone. They’re mostly well to do, and definitely have laptops. But just casual. 

- This reduced my selection pool to literally 8-9 interns from 180. Of these too, generally saw most of them had too much overconfidence and arrogance about them. Barely went into the depth of the answers, and would over-portray their contribution in past projects/internships, without being able to explain what they really did

I am genuinely shocked and taken aback. These were all Tier 1 college kids, and I just did not expect it to be so bad. A shock for me, and a future shock for many of these kids when they get into the workforce!

College kids have a reality shock waiting for them

Come to Tier 3 colleges, they are very humble and hardworking 😊

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I had my summer internship offer for sde intern from Simpl. Today they sent a mail saying they are converting our internship to one with no stipend due to internal restructuring decisions. This is extremely heartbreaking and devastating at this end moment when the internship cycle has ended for almost all companies. I had stopped applying to companies after I got my simpl offer.  I request you to empathise with my situation if you know any internship openings.

“Founding Intern” + “9AM-6AM” + Peanuts as stipend

Hi, I am in my final year of my B.Tech and I just got to know that I won't be getting PPO/Full time offers from two Internships due to no opening in the ML team  for both the Internships. (Market down).

It really feels bad to have wasted my time (1year) over the internship, in the end to get nothing. 

I would be glad if someone could help me get referal for ML Roles (Computer vison, NLP, any would work).

Cheers!

Expected TC : 12-18LPA

TC: 
Current Amazon Internship: ₹1.5L
Internship 1: ₹70k 
Internship 2: ₹50K
#tech #Ai #ML #job #computervison #nlp

Bad luck ;)

I earn a decent living ~32LPA as a Software Engineer. I really enjoy my work and it is always a joy working with smart people around you. 

I sometimes wonder if I didn't exist would it matter in the world. At work, I come up with great ideas and insights which my peers appreciate and support, but there hasn't been one thing that they took seriously and moved ahead with. 

My peers around me constantly belittle me, some unprofessional jokes about my competence and intellect, even though I am actually good at what I do and more. 

The backhanded compliments and sarcastic replies in front of other people in my company makes me sad beyond belief. It is almost like I give so much of time to this company and although everyone cares about the work I do but no one cares about me. 

My colleagues constantly try to one-up themselves by bullying juniors and laughing in their glass-walled conference walls. 

Incidents like these make me want to give up on work. I think the mix of giving all of myself at work(intensity and long hours), constant berating on my competence and the time I spend away from my family and "real" friends(not these fake work colleagues) makes me depressed as fuck. 

I am now understanding that you can never be happy in life because you can never have all that you want. You will give up something for the other. You think making more money will make you happier but you will just end up losing your sanity.

You can never be happy

Hang in there, friend. I can assure you that you can find happiness in the workplace. What you're experiencing is common but definitely not the norm. There are many places out there where people are decent and you wouldn't be treated so pathetically. I hope you find the opportunity to move out and cut yourself off from the vile people at your present employer.

Software Developer

Data Scientist

I'll go first

Degree - 15L
First job - 3.5 LPA (Not WITCH 😂)

How much did your Degree cost and what was your first job salary?

Fees was around 14L (inclusive of tuition, hostel, food, everything) for 5 years (btech with masters through research) 
 First job was 18LPA  
  
  
 Uni:- IIIT Hyderabad 
  
 Education is the greatest return on investment ever possible

I am currently doing my internship at Amazon which is most likely not gonna get converted to a full time offer (provided the market conditions), I have another offer from EY for the role of Technology Consultant which would mainly involve work in data analysis. I have heard that it will be very tough to come back to an sde role from a consultant role. So I am in a dilemma of what to do next?
P.S. I am more inclined towards an SDE role due to the growth it provides.

Too much of a trajectory change from SDE to Consultant

for example at housing.com they are looking for one year interns. is it really worth it?

I've seen LinkedIn posts of one year internships

Growth Manager

These days people get internship in there second year of college and continue as an intern for 2 years. Companies don't allow them a full time position citing college regulations. I think this is unfair to candidates as they do full time work at interns compensation and position. Do you think this is justified?

Intern for 2 years justified?

How much was your first salary ?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi! I just finished my second year at a tier-1 college. I’ve been looking for internships to do this summer, and a startup offered me a backend role of 10k pm stipend that required 8 hours a day commitment. I’d have to travel to their 2-3 times a week to their office that’s 7-8 kms away.

I know a decent amount of web dev, have built a MERN clone of Reddit, and I’m pretty good at algorithms. 

Upon asking one of my mentors about this, he that the guy who’s offering me this role is simply ripping me off. I just wanted a second opinion on this. 

Am I being underpaid?

10k pm stipend for intern

I'll go first. I got a call for an APM role from one of the companies which did sound pretty sketchy and the recruiter was started bullying me into answering questions, when I asked to know more about the role. The recruiter was extremely unprofessional, and obviously the conversation was nowhere great. They however, did go ahead and sent me the JD and other links, etc to fill in and apply for the job. Mind you, I hadn't applied for the job. 🥲
It just was a pretty sour conversation which had left me in an uncertain situation. Any similar experiences?

Weird recruiter experiences

Asked for my expected CTC. I answered and they weren't happy with it. Said they could only give at 40% increment of current CTC and then asked for my current CTC. After hearing my current CTC they said I shouldn't be earning this much and that I was obviously making it up. Then asked to send over my salary payslip which I refused. Basically the HR started being extremely rude at this point stating that I was being unprofessional. I asked their salary budget for the role which they refused to answer. Then I asked if they were willing to hire me for a lower CTC which she instantly agreed and said she knew I was reasonable and I shouldn't have lied about my CTC. I then said good luck finding a candidate for that amount and hung up.
