From the company's point of view, it seems like an internship really ought to be more of a culture fit check than anything else. It's like an extended technical interview in a way: "try on our team for size, see how it fits. Do you like the work? Do we see potential in your skills / productivity?" That sort of thing. Heck, even for experienced engineers there's a spinup time on any large technical endeavor that is sometimes measured in months. How long is a typical internship anyway?
- interviewer0000 5y ago12 weeks in the US. In the realm of software you'll make anywhere from 20 to 50 an hour.
- applecrazy 5y agoSome internships go higher, but those tend to be in the trading/quant software of things. (see https://www.levels.fyi/internships/ https://www.levels.fyi/internships/)
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoRespectfully, what is the value of pointing outliers at the top end of the intern of scale?
- applecrazy 5y agoNot much. I just wanted to point out how insane intern salaries can get. As a computer science student, us students idealize those internships because the benefits and longer hours means more money to pay off student loans.
