Young male intern --> Everyone assumes you're a Wunderkind.
Young female intern --> Everyone assumes that the CEO is having sex with you.
Startupbullshit
- adeadb2bcompany 11y agofor me at least, I would assume the young male intern got in through nepotism of some kind. Actually, I would say I would stereotype first on their credentials before their gender (since I would likely see their resume first before seeing them in person)
- supjeff 11y agoI hold founders' motives suspect. Not the relationship (which actually seems to have worked out) that resulted.
- neilk 11y agoHells to the no. In my experience, if you see a useless young male intern, he's probably the nephew of the dumbest investor. But the pattern holds in one way, because to keep up appearances, we're supposed to put the useless male intern on coding projects. So he's more of a net negative.
- bsder 11y ago> Young female intern --> Everyone assumes that the CEO is having sex with you Well, to be fair, a young, attractive, competent female intern has far better opportunities than intern at a shitty startup.
