Alternatively, they had full funding (even during the summer), focused on research and graduating (so it didn't take them 10 years), and didn't realize they needed to get an internship to be competitive once they graduated.
- morgante 13y agoSure, I don't doubt that's what they did. But that's not a counterargument to my point, which is that they chose to not once in (I'm guessing) 6+ years set foot outside academia. Even given unlimited research funding, to not once try working in industry (even during undergrad) betrays a worrying single-mindedness which I'd want to avoid in any technical hire. If all you do is proceed down one path, without ever trying anything else or being a little creative, I probably don't want you on my team.
