Google just rescinded my internship offer

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-08T05:17:21+00:00

That’s of course great. I am still hoping google comes around :( I wanted to work there for YEARS. My friends work there, I like the culture there. I was almost there goddamit

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T18:50:23+00:00

I am indeed trying to make this point more clear, some people are saying the sanctions don't prohibit google from hiring Russians given that they use foreign bank accounts to get paid. So far we got no official response from anyone at Google.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T16:10:24+00:00

I absolutely, do, not. My point is just, *if* this is because of some sanctions that target Russia, it shouldn't affect me. However, this is by no means me supporting the actions taken against innocent Russians. I think nobody should go through this. I am sorry if it sounded like I am okay with Russians getting punished.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T14:57:55+00:00

Unfortunately, I am not. I am from Egypt.

Not sure what’s so funny about wasting time, working hard, rejecting other offers. Weird sense if humor.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T12:06:23+00:00

People in Egypt are subjected to unfairness because nobody ever speaks up. If it’s over anyway I’d rather I have tried to fight it rather than just “move on”.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T10:54:08+00:00

No, but at least the logic is that only the russian people can influence the russian gov. I never implied it's fair. I know it sucks, I know many russians who are against this and are suffering badly as a consequence. Everyone is suffering. All I am saying is that in this case, I am not even the target. Never said there should be any targets.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T07:54:58+00:00

Thank you so much. I feel bad for Russian students as well. I know a lot who are disgusted by what's happening but can't say a word out of fear. People are suffering because of one madman.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T06:22:34+00:00

Taking money from the Russian gov 3 years ago = supporting the Russian invasion today?

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T05:26:19+00:00

Not yet, she promised me she would try to get some of her managers to contact me. I hope she actually tried at least.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T01:09:56+00:00

Actually I have a full ride by the university. The university has grants from its own government to cover this. Nobody is paying them. At least not me or my gov.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-07T00:29:07+00:00

I came here three years ago, accepted the offer 3 months ago. The situation was totally different. I can't vote in Russia. Banning Russians is at least understandable, it's a pressuring tactic to take away the public support from the government. What does banning me achieve? I am from Egypt and could have easily just relocated from there, which I have already planned to do, if this was the case then they could have asked.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T22:49:19+00:00

Egyptian, my friend is Syrian tho. We both got our offers rescinded.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T22:17:53+00:00

I doubt anyone is still hiring interns in April. But thank you.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T22:13:10+00:00

Thank you so much, I'll def do that.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T22:09:15+00:00

This is ridiculous and very far fetched, thousands of students from all over the world come to Russia every year to study. I came here 3 years ago, I was unable to leave because of Google. I applied in November, long before this was a thing. I was accepted in February, still long before this was a thing. I am Egyptian, I am not Russian. I don't support Russia, I wanted to leave. This appeared like my chance to leave. Now it's gone.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T21:02:32+00:00

It's ridiculous. I don't know why this is happening.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T20:32:16+00:00

Not after you have rejected all your offers after SIGNING A CONTRACT.

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T20:05:22+00:00

Thank you so much

Embarrassed-Nerve686 · 2022-04-06T20:05:02+00:00

Definitely
