Where did you see this? There are plenty of bullshit "opportunities" forwarded around CS student mailing lists. You'll learn to bin these soon enough.
My favourite was an ad for a PHP Ninja, where you needed to be a PhD student in order to maintain their CRUD webapp, but they might be willing to glance at your CV if you only had a Masters.
If an advert emphasises what you will gain from an internship, in terms of skills and in terms of money, that is a good sign.
Just ignore anything that doesn't feel right.
- rkon 15y agoYeah, I know those spam emails you're talking about. Usually the type of "great opportunities" where you get to manage yourself and earn "tons of money" on commission, AKA free help. Most of the internships in my area (Philadelphia) are just like the excerpt I posted. Some are worse -- like the company that obviously wanted an unpaid intern to build them a brand new website -- and very few are better.
