Intern for 2 years justified?
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?
Imho if you're sticking around for more than 2 years in the same org as an intern, the problem is with you, not the org. The org will obviously milk work from you at 1/4th the salary, and slap you with a "work experience" certificate.
Jump ship, change org every 6 months, 6 months is enough to learn beginner and new stuff in depth, and jumping ship helps in learning in breadth. I did 5 internships, all in different domains, some 6 month, some 3 months, learnt a shit ton of stuff.
I don't think interns does as much work as a full time and also expectations are different from them are different.
Atleast it works like this in my org.
Correct me if I am wrong

Initially yes, but after 6 months or so, they are fully immersed in the culture and codebase to the point that teammates often forgets that the person is still an intern. I have also seen interns being assigned on call responsibilities which is Ideally a FTE domain
I see
