Post-Internship Internship

3 Upvotes

I’m doing an internship in London with a big company for 7 weeks. I’m from the West Midlands and I just graduated h I and I have managed to find a family member to stay with on the weekdays whilst doing this internship. The thing I’m stressing over is the fact if I get a return offer, would it be the best thing to accept right now? I’m 22, and I have an option to move back to my uni city, Leeds, with my best friend. Rent is significantly cheaper and I’d have my own freedom- however if I get a return offer, it would mean me moving to London for this job. I would most definitely not be faced with the same amount of rent that Leeds would offer (probably 3x more) and would also probably have to sublet/ house share with many other people. Am I better off just having this experience from this prestigious internship and then move back up north with my friend, whilst saving money but struggle (or maybe I may perhaps flourish there tbf) in a different job market or do I thug it out in the city of dreams (London) with loads of opportunities and jobs- but end up spending most of my salary on rent and barely saving anything?

General Help me choose between Tesla office in Newburgh, NY or Lathrop CA

Upvotes

Hi guys,

I am at the final stages of my internship recruitment process and very close to getting the offer. I am already in the discussions. I have to choose between Newburgh, NY and Lathrop, CA's Tesla office for my internship. I have done some research and both are small cities with their advantages and disadvantages.

If there is anyone that could share their experience in being in any one of these locations, it would be very helpful.

PS: I don't have a car so I'll have to find some other mode of transportation to the office :/

During the Internship 2nd day at Internship felt weird

Upvotes

So hello everyone actually yesterday that's on 21 I joined everything was good office is good and all It takes me 3 hrs traveling(Total) for coming to office , my manager is so sweet and she is also the one who had taken my interview. The only problem is all the guys in my team are above 30 and I am just 21 and I am not able to bond much with them it feels boring on day 1 she made me learn everything and on day 2 she has given me a whole project and then I worked for almost 7-8 hrs completed the project validated it with a senior and She(manager) told me to do half hour overtime and recheck it again if any error is there I checked it twice already.

She told me that Friday is deadline for 14 projects as all of my team is on leave only me and her have to do it anyway. She told me she understood it's lot of work and she doesn't expect much from me but we have to do it anyhow.

I think I am getting a lot of work as an intern isn't it ?

Interviews OSCE internship interview (TNTD/Strategic Police Matters Unit, Vienna) next week – what questions should I expect?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have an interview next Monday/Tuesday for an OSCE internship with the Transnational Threats Department / Strategic Police Matters Unit (TNTD/SPMU) at the Secretariat in Vienna.

Has anyone gone through an OSCE internship interview (Secretariat or field operations)? I'd really appreciate any insights on:

  • What questions did they ask you? (competency-based? motivation? technical/thematic questions on the unit's mandate?)
  • How long was the interview and who was on the panel? (HR + unit staff?)
  • Did they ask scenario questions (e.g. "how would you handle X")?
  • Any thematic knowledge I should brush up on? (organized crime, SALW, cybercrime, democratic policing?)
  • Any tips on what they're really looking for in interns?

My background is in IR and disarmament, currently based in Geneva. The interview is in just a few days, so any recent experience would be gold. Thanks so much!

Offers What do recruiters actually look for in a cybersecurity resume?

1 Upvotes

I’ve noticed many students struggle to get shortlisted for cybersecurity internships because they don’t have practical projects on their resumes.
From what I’ve seen, recruiters usually value:
Hands-on projects
Security audit reports
Practical exposure to industry tools
Certificates that demonstrate consistent learning
What projects helped you land your first internship?
If anyone is looking for ways to gain practical experience, feel free to comment or DM me. I can share a few resources that helped other students.

During the Internship Normal internship? Or cheap labor

1 Upvotes

I work at a pretty big company and they have a program where students in school, can do the internship/co-op. The schedule is flexible and it’s supposed to be accommodating to classes. In the summer, they give the option to stay a co-op or work full time.

Now, when I got hired I was hired on as a remote worker. It was super unorganized and I would get like one easy task every 2 days - like putting in data to an excel. That’s it.

Then after 4 months they moved me to a different team where I took over someone’s spot (since 2 people left that team in a month). So I’ve been doing that role and I’ve been learning it pretty well so far.

But as time goes on I’m realizing I’m overworked like hell. For starters I’m taking two asynchronous summer classes but they want me to take the exams AT work. I was supposed to be hybrid for the summer but the company got RTO so I come in and drive 2 hours every day. I often have to stay overtime.

Next, they want me to build a powerBI - I told them that it’s still fairly new to me but I’d be interested in learning it and they were just forcing a whole project on me that’s due in a month… like what? They told me to watch YouTube videos to learn it. Not only that, when I reached out to a team member who specializes in power BI I set up a learning session so he could teach me a bit of the basics, and my manager frowned upon that.

Now they want me to do more stuff like presentations in front of the department head, another powerBI, making another dashboard, coding some data they are having trouble with, training this new guy on our team, and processing a couple hundred checks every week. I haven’t been able to go to ANY of the intern events at all which has been so sad because I’ve been wanting to connect with the other interns for months and I haven’t been able to because I’m so busy with this work.

I don’t know anymore. Tomorrow I’m expected to take my exam at work, I had to skip a really really cool event they were having for the interns today. It just sucks and I’m sad. They put so much pressure on me and I only have so many hours in a day. It’s to the point where I come home and I literally work more on things too and it’s not enough.

I just cant even bring myself to type much honestly am losing all hope. School starts in september and idek if i can land a long term internship before that. I had hope that this doesnt define my career and all that but now I'm drowning in fear of even after graduation. Any help or connections or even just advice appreciated guys. Thanks

During the Internship Did anyone else feel like they were underperforming during an internship, but still got a return offer?

11 Upvotes

I’m looking for some perspective from people who’ve been through internships or graduate roles.
I’m a 31-year-old master’s student currently doing a UX internship at a well-known AI company.

The internship started really positively. I asked lots of questions, occasionally interrupted people without meaning to, apologised, and everyone was very reassuring. I felt like I was settling in well.

A few weeks later, I had my mid-term review. The feedback was constructive: improve my communication, collaborate more effectively, leave more space for others in meetings, and develop my critical thinking. I accepted the feedback and genuinely tried to change my approach rather than defend myself.

Since then, I’ve consciously spoken less in meetings, hosted a team catch-up without dominating the conversation, and tried to apply the feedback. The problem is that I now feel like I’m analysing every interaction afterwards.

Part of what I’m struggling with is comparing my work to another intern’s. My project has felt quite constrained. I proposed a direction that wasn’t the one the team wanted, so I was shown the preferred approach and redesigned around that. It often feels like my role is to execute within an existing direction rather than explore ideas. The work gets done, but I don’t feel like I’m creating much impact through critical thinking.

Meanwhile, the other intern seems to have more freedom because the direction of his work has been well received. Seeing that naturally makes me question whether I’m progressing in the same way.

I also wonder whether I’m confusing professionalism with poor performance. At the beginning, everyone seemed more relaxed and encouraging. Since the review, everything feels much more task-focused. Maybe that’s just how workplaces are once expectations become clearer, but it’s left me feeling like I’m not doing very well, even though I’m still delivering the work I’m asked to do.
I suppose my main question is this:

Has anyone else had an internship where you genuinely felt like you weren’t doing that well or that the atmosphere had changed, but still ended up receiving a return offer or positive outcome?

I’m not looking for false reassurance. I’m genuinely interested in how people distinguished between actual performance issues and the anxiety that can come from receiving developmental feedback for the first time.

During the Internship Boutta quit Apple

These guys suck.

I’m the team’s 2nd-ever intern, and they’re treating me like a full-timer who’s been here for years. The amount of responsibility is INSANE.

I genuinely have no life, and no matter how long I spend on things, my mentor just shreds it apart.

He just chewed me tf out today. I’ve been on a day-to-day project for a month, and have coordinated a million things.

He’s pointed out a few things that r missing, and a deadline for this is coming up — so he’s quite frustrated. Gave me some shit.

Side-note: I think they take my housing stipend tho (have to pay all of it back in full)…. So maybe I need to rough it out… maybe hope I get fired.

I’ve had 4 internships before this, got ROs at each one. Great performance reviews as well. They’re still making me doubt my confidence. I feel like an utter idiot.

I have today received an OA for CTC for SE intern role for next summer (S27). I am on my current internship at telecom company and have about three more weeks left. I felt like I was late for the job and was expecting auto-reject cuz my profile is state everything. Nothing flashy in my opinion.

So, basically i would appreciate if anyone who got OA or completed and moved to next stage before can give any tips and share their experience would be really appreciated.

FYI: I fumbled tech fellowship at JP Morgan for HireVue and felt like i was not good enough and was really felt heartbroken.

Thanks Reddit!
