The hard part is finding one that's paid, or pays enough. Most people can't afford to do un(der)paid labor for the prospect of maybe, possibly, but maybe not getting a job. Being able to do unpaid labor selects for people with other things working in their favor.
- sgerenser 5y agoAlmost all tech internships are paid (for people with CS or engineering majors). Only really shady companies would try to get away with not paying a technical intern. In most cases these folks are doing real work, not just fetching coffee.
- Kadin 5y agoMost tech internships are paid. Someone in a CS program at a recognizable school with a strong program should definitely not be signing up for unpaid internships (at least not at for-profit corps). I just finished supervising the summer interns embedded with my team at work, and we definitely paid everyone, allowed remote work, and brought everyone into the HQ for a week towards the end (flights, hotel, transpo, meals all comped) to give presentations, network in person with the team, do field trips / team building stuff, etc. I like to think we do a better-than-average job, but it's pretty close to what you need to be doing if you want to attract good talent to your internship program.
