How do you train your intern if you have any?

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?

Hey guys, Serious question, I'll be interning at an MNC in Bangalore over the summer and I got this internship via campus placements. I wanted to know what are the most common mistakes interns make and what can I do to avoid them? What technicals should I revise before I start? My role is a Software Engineering intern. What do I do to translate the internship into a proper PPO? Thanks.

I am a student from tier 3 college. Just had the round 1 of Wayfair Software Engineering Internship challenge ( Did pretty well). I don't have any idea how my further rounds of Wayfair internship would be. Apart from this I have got 2 offer letters for Business development Interns who will be offering me a salary of 8-10LPA after internship. I am quite confused about what to choose? I don't feel comfortable choosing BD over a proper tech job/internship, it would be very difficult to switch to development later.

Hi guys, wanted to get your thoughts. I have been a marketer for 10 years and have doing decently well. My salary is not exorbitant but good enough as per market standards. However, I never enjoyed marketing much. I always felt inclined to coding and respected that work more than what I did. Lately I have been getting really frustrated with what I am doing and contemplating changing my trade from marketing to software development. In the last one year I built a lot of apps on google app script and collab and it was a joy working on them. Even after work I would keep thinking about the code and that was never true for marketing. Now I am thinking should I move full time into it. I want to start out as an intern and work my way up. Will it be a good idea. Am I overestimating myself?

Hey everyone, heading into my first internship this summer, no other work experience and want to hear from full time employees on the lesser known things that secure the return offer. By this I mean things other than being able to adapt to work, ask questions, not making same mistake over and over - basically the things that aren't talked about but from your perspective really makes huge a difference in your opinion on the intern. Thanks in advance!

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!

Had been selected for internship+placement as an engineer on campus, but lately due to market conditions our internship tenure is reduced from 6 months to 3 months and full time will be conditional based on performance and business conditions. 1 month has passed and we are only doing automation testing till now and now my mentor has asked to start working on Angular as well. We are working remotely. Mentor rarely connects with us as he is the team lead, what should I do that the mentor recommends me well at the end of the internship to the HR?

I just joined a new internship (my first offline internship) at a big company and don't know what to do here... I am getting small tasks that I finish in half a day, not getting a big project and then I'm free for the rest of the office hours, don't know if I should ask for work or it would be allotted to me. I know it's silly but is this normal? And what should I do? I need clarity regarding corporate life, lmao!

Arround 30% of the backend team at Devtron, Gurugram has been laid off citing performance issus which includes both Interns and full-time. The problem is they mentioned FTE on the offer letter of the interns still their offer were revoked. All of them were hardworking guys who used to work for more then 10+ hours a day in office, completing their task in ASAP. Performance was not an issue, they just wanted to layoff. Interns were paid 20 K per month and were expected to work like FTE with 1 to 2 year of experience. A month before they started pressuring to complete and handover all the task as soon as possible to get it into production 😂 so that they are in no loss. The layoff was done on the same day on the company organised a party to celebrate. This is for people who will be joining them as Inter n or FTE. Do not join the company if you are not ready for this thing and you are not ready for toxic management and work culture. Work life balance is 0 here Be ready to become a robot 🤖 if you still join.
