Most probably, yes. You will work on project and after sometime you will be an important asset.

I am already working on the project, infact I was the first intern to get assigned one. And I have made  significant contributions. They have already extended it enough should I again contact my manager and ask him to push more? But I am hesitant as I have contacted him numerous times and he told me that it will take some time as higher management is still looking into it.

How long have you been working on this project?

I wonder how one can make interns billable. Sounds like they are trying to save money by billing clients for an FTE and paying you intern salary.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So I joined Accolite digital as a swe intern for 6 months internship + FTE Role. Later they put an extension to our internship and delayed our full time offers so far they had extended our internship twice. And it's been 8 months since I am interning there. My manager is more than satisfied with my performance also I am one of the few interns who have been assigned to a project (the rest are benched). So my manager just informed me that I have been made billable to the US clients along with some other interns . From my project I am the only one to be made billable. Is this a good thing? Does this make my chances of getting an FTE better? Or should I not have any hope . Looking for some guidance!!!

So I have been interning at Accolite Digital as an Swe. I got the opportunity via oncampus drive. They offered a 6 month internship+ FTE(8 lpa CTC and 3 lpa as retention bonus). After 4 months of internship they randomly terminated internships of 10 interns stating their performance was inadequate which was complete bullshit as I knew those interns worked really hard. Later the HR told us that they have reduced the retention bonus from 3 lpa to 2 lpa without having any discussion with us. After 6 months of internship they again forced around 20-30 interns to hand over their resignation as they have found better opportunity but the reality was that they didn't have projects to allot to them and didn't want to display it as layoffs. After all this shitholery they gave the rest of us an extension of 2 months till 15th of October and today they told us that they have further extended our internship till December. During this period of time I worked my ass off for this shit organisation and worked late at night to connect with the client. They only paid us 20k as an internship stipend and expected us to be present at the office all 5 days a week. The worst thing is that I initially had 5 job offers in hand and I had to reject them all to accept this one. They also have 1 year of bond which they won't wave off. I am literally shattered and actively looking for better job opportunities as a SWE fresher with 8 months of internship experience. I would beg the community to please like this post as much as they can so that someone who is actively hiring who could see this. Also if any of u guys have any openings at ur firm please do consider me!!

Amazon overhiring 
I am doing 6 month internship at Amazon right now.What I personally feel is they have overhired .We all now that they overhired sde1 in 2022 leading to the layoff right now but they also hired too many interns.I don't know the reason maybe use and throw.

Amazon overhiring

As a fresher, most of us have to serve a bond of 2-3 years at our first company. How can one break such bonds without having to pay them as we all know bonds are not legal. I have heard that if u break the bond they don't give u an experience letter . Does showing your payslip work? Or does anyone know of a much better way?

Creative ways to not serve the bond with service based companies

I joined Morgan Stanley India as a spring intern this January. I was supposed to work for 6 months and would have been converted to a full time employee post the internship. I worked my ass off and got outstanding feedback from my manager (VP) and their managers as well (ED). On the other hand I kept asking my manager about my progress and chances of conversion. He assured me that I was an extraordinary intern and he kept assigning me work other than my project. I also interacted with other people in the organisation and received great feedback from them (upto MD level). Now coming to last week, I had a chat with my manager about the same, he informed me that the organisation has gone into a hiring freeze just 2 weeks back and thus I won't be getting converted to a FTE. Also this info is not public yet and a lot of the other interns have no idea what the situation is here. The people in my team have offered to help me out with opportunities outside the firm but there's nothing they can do inside for me. The most they can do is give me LORs but nothing more. I am a recent graduate with 2 years of experience as an intern at multiple startups and MNCs. Can the folks here help me out. Also is there anything I can do at the firm?

Just found out that I'm being laid off

Basically the title. Given the new round of layoffs, I'm feeling uncertain.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I need some good advice. I have been working on a very weird project for past two and half years now. This project has not at all being in a proper way and feels like a classic case scenario of sucking up to clients to keep the business with them. But in this conundrum, I am suffering A LOT. 
My core working areas are SSIS and SQL Server and I have been trying expand my skillset to cloud platforms like Azure engaging in some proper Data Engineering roles. But I have been sole contributor in my role in this project and inevitably a very heavy dependency developed upon me over time and now the management is not willing to involve me in any project other than this.
I have been trying to get some opportunities laterally but since I have no hands-on experience in my "preferred skillset", no one's willing to consider. I tried talking to my managers and I keep hearing "It's a good thing that you have developed such good rapport with the customers" (which I have), "this project will end soon and you will get better opportunities once we close this project", "we will consider you for on-site opportunities". None of these promises have been fulfilled. I realized very late that I have just been exploited since I have been doing at least a three man job in the billing of one and they keep extending me on the project. Accolades are there but just on mailers and that too from customers, not my managers.
To add insult to injury when I received customer appreciation no one from the management even bothered to highlight it internally and they didn't nominate me for H1B unlike they promised. There is no incentive of any type- bonus, better project or onsite opportunities and I am struggling to find jobs within or outside the organization because of current market scenario and lack of experience. 
I am getting restless thinking about this and the time I am losing on this worthless project. There seems to be 
a huge disconnect between HR, management and employee. What to do???

Feels like I am stuck

Data engineer

I got placed in september 2022. It was only the 2nd company to visit the campus and after getting placed i wasn't allowed to sit for any more placement drives (college rules). 

I received the offer letter and my internship started in February. i was to be FTE by August. After 1 month of internship they sent me another offer letter stating that I will be FTE by October. Now it's January, i am still an intern and I feel like i haven't learned anything at all and even forgotten most of what i knew. i have no motivation at all. My resume isn't getting shortlisted to any companies. i don't know what to do. i have been applying on linkedin and indeed but no luck.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Context: I am 22 years old with a BBA degree from a tier 1 college. After college, worked as intern with a few online marketing startups for around 4-5 months, Post that joined a fintech company as an intern setting up a new vertical that they're building( part of first few hires). I've worked here for around 6 months as an intern and now that my internship is coming to an end I've been told that full time conversion is off the table but they'll gladly extend my internship period. 
Reason: performace not good enough.

I feel purely from an opportunity standpoint continuing here would be great for me as there's a lot of scope for learning and growth however what makes me anxious is the fact that this wouldn't reflect well in my CV and hence would probably be a potential bottleneck in the future wrt higher education or switching companies for that matter.

Growth Manager

I am a fresher, received a joining from Accenture for April. But I am currently also interning at a startup that pays stipend greater than Accenture in hand.
The internship will end around June and if they convert me pay will be around 9-12L (2-3x of Accenture).

So, what reasons can I give and delay my joining by a month or two? Also, if I don't join later, would they blacklist me?

How to delay Accenture joining, do they blacklist for not joining?

Roughly 2.5% of the workforce. Are there any details on teams and geographies impacted?

Senior Manager

I am a final-year CS student and will be graduating this June. I have been doing internships since 6th semester. In my first and second year I used to code like 9 to 10 hours a day and learn new skills and thanks to that I was able to grep an internship in start of 6th sem and since then I am doing internships and its been 1.5 years and I have done 2 internships, one as an backend developer for 6 months and another as an ML Engineer for 10 months and I am still interning over here and I have learned a lot and have worked on many amazing projects, now the problem is my current company told that they will give me full time offer if they receive the funding in April or may and HR told me to consider this as no and now the CEO of my previous internship called me and asked me if I am willing to join there for full time and I told him I am waiting for the offer from here and he told me that he will try to match the offer but I don't want to join the older company as there the culture is toxic and I also don't have other offer to negotiate as I did not sit for on campus placement as I am getting paid more as an intern(50k per month) then the full time offers the companies are giving on campus. Now in 2 months, I will be graduating and still, I don't have full-time offer now I feel like all the sacrifices I made in my first and second years went in vain, all the hard work, consistency, missing parties and trips all these things now makes me depressed, where did I go wrong and what should I do now?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I , got placed in Nference during campus placements. Today morning I got  a mail saying that the joining date has been moved to December from july considering the current market conditions. Pretty huge bummer but it is what it is.

Anyone in Nference , has any info on the matter?

Nference joining delayed

I'm a final year grad student who is working as an intern in a startup. It's a small team, and I'm the owner of 2 projects. Recently I've been feeling overworked and underpaid. I'm an intern who is working at the capabilities of a full-time and more. How do I have this conversation with my boss?

How do i tell my boss I'm overworked

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?

I am a PM intern at a compliance industry startup. Already interned for 3 months and 3 are still left. I will be getting a FTE offer to join from 1st May. 

Should I join it or look out for APM opportunities? 

If I look out for new opportunities, then what sector of Startups should I search for. So that I can at least go through these layoffs without being jobless.
