This is also what many internships are for.
- Aachen 5y agoI'm probably from a different culture than you so this is new to me. Care to elaborate? Am I picturing it right that someone is put under stress for six months without pay (or at least for pay that might barely cover base rent in my experience) to see if they can deal with stress without burning out or doing a worse job?
- itronitron 5y agoIt shouldn't be like that. Most internships are three months and typically in the summer between academic years for undergraduate or graduate students. They are paid internships, but much less than a permanent position (enough to cover base rent and travel logistics.) The stress should not be too high as most companies have policies that interns can not be assigned to essential work activities (and this might be the law in some US states.) It's typically 'educational' in some form for them as it lets them see how the sausage is made.
