You should. Nothing to lose. Keep searching for other options in the meantime.

What if I get a better opportunity ? It doesn't feel right to leave a company in 1-2 months.

That's okay, plenty of people do it. It's not illegal. They can't do anything about it.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello everyone, 

A little context: I have full-time experience of around 2 years and actively looking for a job switch. I recently applied to a top company and got an offer to intern there for a few months. It's extremely hard for tier-3 students to get a call back from this company so the offer is a little tempting. 

I believe that this will be a great learning experience in efficient and scalable system design and implementation. As far as the financial aspect goes, the stipend alone is ~75% higher than my current pay and the perks more than make up for my total comp. However, this is potentially temporary since there is no guarantee of a full-time offer and it requires me to relocate to a new city. 

Side note, my past experiences have been short-term engagements due to both voluntary or involuntary reasons. In case this doesn't convert, will recruiters classify my profile as a job hopper?

I would love any suggestions on this situation. Thanks! 

TLDR; looking for suggestions on whether I should leave my full-time job to pursue an internship at a top company after 2 years of full-time experience.

Should I go back for an internship?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I received an offer with average pay but from a good, growing startup. The role is exactly what I want, and the team consists of very good, brilliant people from Tier 1 and 2 institutes, while I am a Tier 3 institute student. Considering the current market situation and the fact that I don't have any prior internship or work experience, I got the offer based on my technical skills. What should I do? Should I go for it? The on-campus placement companies are nowhere near as good as this one.

Got an offer from a top-tier startup—should I take the leap?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am Interning at a very early stage startup in the Growth Team. My stipend is ₹15,000 p/m and the work is decent - community mgmt, content, product gamification & market research. It’s a pre-seed startup so sometimes I feel lack of resources are putting a cap on my abilities to execute. Though, the founder has assured that we’re close to raising pre seed. I am pretty good friends with the Founder and I’ve met him a few times.
Now, coming to the main part of problem - I casually applied for an Internship in a early stage startup but the team is sorted. They have funds and their founding team is super experienced. Stipend offered is 2x of what I’m getting.
I was wondering If I should opt for that? Or, keep my head down and work for the same startup, ignoring the money aspect? Pls lmk folks.

Optimise for Work or Money?

Founder

hey folks,

i’ve been interning with this b2b startup for a few months now, my stipend is 15K which i feel is less given the amount of work i do

is it advisable to ask my manager to bump it in our 1/1 call? not sure how negotiation works for internships, but would love to know your thoughts

just for context - i’m a non tech intern

Stipend Negotiation possible?

Systems Analyst

Recently, I got my resume shortlisted for a 2 months internship at a Bangalore based startup. They're offering 13.5k per month stipend with no full time opportunity. Also, there's no remote opportunity as well. I'm currently based out at a different state. They're asking me to fill a form if I'm interested to go forward with the application. 

Should I take the chance to go forward with the application? Isn't 13.5k too less to survive in Bangalore?

Should I move to bangalore with a low paying internship?

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

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.

Hey Folks, I hope you all are doing extremely well.

Wanna get some idea about market pay and the hike I’m getting in a e-commerce company. 

Worked as a DevOps/Software Engineer for 5 yrs and CCTC is around 30-32 LPA. New company is ready to offer around 42. 

Is it good offer or should I check for more companies?

I know some startup’s are paying like anything and this offer seems to be trivial for 5 yrs experience, but just wanted to know if I should be pursuing this offer or not?

Thanks in advance folks, Have fun! 🤩

Is 42 LPA a good offer for YoE - 5 yrs?

My roommate's family condition is not good. We are in our engineering final year. His family wants him to do a 10-5pm accounting job with 10k/pm for  the next 3-4 months until his family's financial health becomes stable.
Right now he is applying for development jobs, but no response. 
What should he do?

Data engineer

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.
