The most important one: Don’t jump into solving the problem until and unless you COMPLETELY understand the problem.

Hmmm can you explain a bit more with maybe an example? I don't believe that the work in real life companies will be a simple college type question.

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.

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hey guys,
So I'm a senior BTech CSE engineering student from a Tier 2 college in Karnataka and I will be interning at a Top MNC in Bangalore over the summer for 2 months. 

Any advice for me? As I will be entering the infamous corporate world as a new chapter in my life, I wanna know how the dynamics in corporate works and what I should prepare for. 

Thank you lads.

Any advice for a student who will be joining his first company?

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?

Internship tips & tricks for PPO.

Software Engineer

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!

The "Not So Obvious" Things That Get You A Return Offer?

Software Developer

Best if I ask them, rather than assuming things! 
- When you crack SDE Internship(MAANG types) at a big tech giant, do they give you general work or place you in a department that is along the lines of your projects and/or OSS contributions. Say I've got intermediate mobile engineering skills under my belt, will that be my department for the duration of the internship or I'll be expected to code to other 'alien-to-me' parts of the codebase. 
-What degree of skill proficiency do they expect. I'm sure I'm not founding any companies single handedly but still, for the heck of it: how skilled would you need to be to survive interning there daily?

P.S.A. -> I can you feel like being mean to me in the comments, this is who you're being mean to :

Mistakes in Preparations

Have applied for a position at a startup for PM internship. Have no prior experience. Somehow if I get a call for interview, just want to make sure I don't make a fool of myself. If you could please help me outline what things to know before sitting for such an interview? Experienced PMs based on India, do you know da way? Show me da way :)

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Iam currently studying in a second year engineering software domain, I have a question that is how much internship a person as a fresher needs to do to bring a proper weightage to his/ her resume during placements specially during times such as recession and high competitions, recommend some free internships if possible, also what are the major skills that the company look before hiring?

Need advice as a fresher...

Hey everyone, My first post in Grapevine

I will be finishing my 2nd yr(T2 ECE), and want to do an internship. 
I know only very basic concepts of python, Java, oops dsa and in ML/data science (all youtube)

Can you tell what is actually done throughout an internship,
ie do they give you small tasks like writing a function (similar to the problem stmts from codechef/hacker rank) 
or you get to shadow them while they're working 
or they assume u already know the stuff and make you part of team that develops a fully fledged backend application 
or even worse they ask you to develop some basic website or ask u to create a model with demo datasets?
 
Now if I were to apply for internships at some good companies or startups, pls suggest what and how should I prepare for it?
What and all should I expect them to ask me?

Also please do drop in your first internship experiences.

PS: Im not interested in virtual internships, and I want to get into the field of ML.
Tl;dr: Explain how internships work

How do I find good Internships

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Any tips for an intern that will help boost the chances of being converted to a full-time role??

Need some Tips!!

I was graduated in August of '22. I was placed in 3 companies during the campus placement drive, out of which one is an MNC and the other two are, let's say pretty famous in India.  But due to bad decision making and other factors I decided to go with the MNC. It's been a while now yet there is no information from the company. The last mail I received was in the month of November, which is why I am afraid now. Are there any internships or job openings I can apply for?

I'm an non IT candidate with decent skills in programming. Are there any courses I can do meanwhile?

Thanks in advance.

What to do?

I got an offer from Amazon for a 2 month internship starting in may this year.


 I have primarily used cpp and flutter and would like to know what technologies I should learn before the internship and also would love to hear the experience of previous interns 

Also would like to know how to ensure getting a ppo

Amazon intern (2m)

I got a summer internship at Accenture as an Advanced App Engineering Analyst, started yesterday. There are good chances of PPO post the internship and if I get the PPO then my college does not allow me to sit for placements with the exception of very few companies, which would have the most competition. I really want to get into a product-based company for a full-time role. I applied to Accenture since it was a summer internship. 

So, considering the worst-case scenario where I join Accenture as an FTE with no other options, how hard is it to switch to a product-based company? I'm a good learner so I can learn the required skills and already have some unofficial experience with web development and did good on ML and DL courses of my college with good projects to showcase my skills in them.

Please let me know! I'd really appreciate your insights. Thanks

How hard is it to switch from Service to Product companies?

Application Analyst

Currently I am in a very famous networking company as 6Month SDE intern where most of work is related to C
After conversion I would be allotted the same team and I fear if switching to other faang companies or equivalent would be possible with this tech stack
The project assigned is good though but everything is only C
I might be immature to ask this so please guide me

Need some tips as a fresher

Currently an intern for a XYZ company, pretty good, compensation is pretty good, I'm an SDE intern, the team which im in is platform engineering, should I switch the role which has something more based on the heavy coding side?

I don't see myself beyond 5 years here, would this team matter when it comes while making a switch?
