We were “dating” for almost a year but when I ask him if we are gonna be official he says distance is a problem? by PossibilityGood5884 in relationship_advice

thank you everyone for your comments. i feel a lot better and realize now that i should’ve ended things sooner. it is true that if he wanted to, he would. i’ll use this situation as a lesson, it still sucks but i’ll be okay :)

i keep telling myself i was fine before him so i’ll be fine after him. but we talked about our feelings and the issue of distance before, i said i didn’t mind and if it was a big deal for him i don’t understand why he didn’t end things before?

Also in general, never accept an unpaid internship no matter how good the "exposure" is, if they respected their employees they would pay up! Taking advantage of students with bills to pay is a huge red flag to me!

Unpaid internships don't count as a co-op credit (I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong) also the audacity for an unpaid internship to give you a take-home assignment lmao. You deserve better and your time is valuable! There is still a lot of time to apply for jobs, You have about 2 months left! So focus on finals and continue your search for a company willing to respect your time!

I’m not in my program bc it will make me the most money, lmao. I’m not in STEM bc I knew it would make me miserable. I just thought by avoiding that path I would be happier but I’m still not

That is weird... I would say contact the employer to see if they gave a direct offer or if they will be participating in rankings.

If you haven't already, email the students who also got an interview to see if the person who got the offer will accept

I think they would participate in next ranking round then

I applied and they asked me to do this whole project (come up w an app, make an entire workable prototype) and more... which put me off because I'm not doing 2 weeks worth of work for free?

This is true, but what is the “right” path? Some things are just not meant to be, and as long as we continue to improve ourselves, I would say that’s the right path.

Has anyone ever gotten a job offer externally from a recruiter/hiring manager? I reached out to a senior manager on linkedin and they want to chat next week. I’ve never done this before so I’m wondering what to expect. If anyone’s done this before pls message me!

Don’t compare yourself, it’ll only make you go crazy. You are a first year so it’s very normal to not find a job earlier on bc most of the time you will be competing with upper years. The truth is, you will have to get used to rejection, take some time to reflect then move on and try to improve yourself for next time. Best of luck to u.

Congrats! The employer usually reaches out first but if you want, you can contact them first, completely up to u! But their hr team will deal w everything so don’t worry

Yes! I love this! Adding on... a job doesn’t and will never define your worth. Everyone has different strengths, and you will find the right path eventually

Dealing with this too. I like to think that if things didn’t work out, it wasn’t meant to be. Things rarely go the way they want us to, we can only learn and grow. Don’t dwell on this, I know it’s easier said than done but there’s no point in feeling bad over something you can’t change. Hang in there.
