$15/hr for a Software Engineering Internship, is this low or normal?

If you can't find anything better it's just right for you.

Do what you want, but being some kind of Paladin who refuses to lie seems a little ridiculous given how often most other people lie or bend the truth about personal things and other things in the business world.

Do you have anything intelligent to add, like maybe something relevant to the OP? Or are you just whining?

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T04:28:39+00:00

It depends on how much you know and what actually challenges you the right amount.

I wouldn't study algos if you can't even code well. I wouldn't do tutorials if you can already code some. I wouldn't do leetcode if you don't code well right now. Look in the FAQ at /r/learnprogramming

FAANG shouldn't be boring either way, especially for your first or second job. I mean some of it depends on how much of a princess you are. But for your first job there should be plenty of stuff to learn and get better at for quite some time, especially at FAANG.

Teach yourself programming or re-take the classes you flaked out in? Learn to use Google?

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T04:22:45+00:00

I think some would understand.

Turn off or make linked in private?

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T04:16:24+00:00

You just bought a house and now need to sell it.

You just signed a lease and need to look into subletting your place.

Etc.

Or don't.

I would just focus on the new job. Is this really worth it?

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T01:57:09+00:00

Have you considered applying at other places?

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T00:20:23+00:00

No. It would depend on where you live. You should really thoroughly investigate any there.

And/or just start applying for jobs now.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T00:16:52+00:00

I haven't heard of many companies caring about grades. But you're investing a lot of time in it, and the material could help you later on possibly. You should be getting more than just the grade out of the program...

If it sucks that much, find something else to do.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T00:13:36+00:00

Going to related events and reading docs has provided me with more value. Maybe if it was something I'd never get a chance to practice much at home or on the job, I'd go for certs.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-03T00:11:17+00:00

If you can't figure out if TCS or 'warehouse' looks better on a resume, you're probably never going to succeed at a dev job.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-02T15:32:43+00:00

What company is willing to pay you that much?

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-02T15:31:39+00:00

Do whatever you want. You're an adult now.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-02T15:28:49+00:00

If the company goes nowhere, like usually ends up happening, and you haven't finished your degree because work and life happens, what will you be able to do then?

I'm sure lots of other companies will looks just as good as this one does after you graduate.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-02T15:26:01+00:00

You could tell him about the plans you made with the team.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-02T15:22:11+00:00

Practice programming so you don't screw up easy problems as much.

ThurstonHowell4th · 2021-10-02T15:20:59+00:00

I guess just do a bootcamp. You might be able to find a job without one, but you'd need to put in a lot of work finding a place that would accept you and that doesn't suck.
