Ask HN: Who's hiring interns this summer?
I'm currently a first year university student in the UK, looking to get a taste of the startup life this summer. I'm sure many others are too, so it would be great to get a nice list going! In terms of location, I'd be happy to move anywhere if I can manage to get a visa, but I think this page would be useful for more people if it weren't limited by geography.
- cbhl 13y agoIt would be good to clarify whether you're looking for jobs in SF/Bay Area, NY, the UK, or elsewhere. My university (in Canada) explicitly discourages first-years from applying to jobs in the US because it's difficult to get a J1 visa approved for a summer internship. It's much easier to get the paperwork approved for a second or third-year. (Make sure that the company you apply to pays for the immigration lawyers. I am not an accountant, but they should probably count as a recruiting expense for the company.) That said, if you're exceptional, I'm sure you'll find something. (Hexxeh comes to mind; IIRC he was from the UK and Google was happy to fly him out to Mountain View to work on Chrome.)
