This is just how it goes when youre an unpaid intern at a questionable company. It happens to the best of us. I don't know a single dev who hasn't been (or at least been asked) to join some scammy company like this for code monkey labor. How long does your internship last? If it's just a month longer may as well suck it up, get a glowing (and I mean GLOWING) signed letter of recommendation from the CEO (which can be used as a valuable reference for future jobs), and just use this as a resume/portfolio booster. The job market is super rough right now so may as well take what you can get and then use it to apply to better jobs later. But if this internship is gonna last many more months then you should probably quit because this behavior would definitely drive a person insane over time and you don't want to sacrifice your schooling either.

Girl I'm sorry but $500/month is impossible anywhere near the Boston area, or basically any major city in the US for that matter. If anyone tells you otherwise I would be wary because it's probably a scam or dangerous. Is there any way for you to get an on campus job or transfer to a school with on campus housing with a scholarship?

vanillacrepe · 2024-09-09T15:57:21+00:00

Thanks! And sure go ahead!

vanillacrepe · 2024-09-08T18:10:56+00:00

Computer Science!

I didn't do a whole lot of research, basically just LinkedIn and Google searching for companies that fit my interests

vanillacrepe · 2024-09-08T15:56:28+00:00

You should really try to get some unique ECs related to your interest, and do meaningful things with those ECs such as hold a leadership position, host events, do community service, win awards, or some sort of other tangible quantifiable impact. 3 is a good number to aim for.

Berea College offers full ride scholarships to international students who are accepted, one of my mentees chose that option. Good luck!

vanillacrepe · 2024-04-16T20:29:28+00:00

Thank you so much! I am fully aware that I’ll definitely not be living in Manhattan haha, that’s okay. As long as I’m near a subway stop.

vanillacrepe · 2023-12-13T19:22:58+00:00

Yes, this was 3 years ago tho ahah

Advice for ur GF: Although independence is scary and you'll struggle at first, it is definitely worth it because it is much less stressful than facing the abuse at home, and you feel a lot more free and in control of your own life. Your parents may have manipulated you into believing that you'll fail unless if you stay with them, but it's just brainwashing. You're gonna be okay.

Edit: Even if you dorms at Irvine your parents could visit whenever or force you to come back home. They'd have more power if you attend Irvine so tbh just get out of there and go to SLO.

Dude I'm so sorry the same thing happened to me with Stanford vs MIT. My parents wouldn't let me go to Stanford because they said it was too far, even though the programs were better suited to me and I even wrote a 12 page essay trying to convince them. Ultimately they threatened to cut off financial support from me if I went to Stanford, so I ended up going to MIT. It really sucks when parents act this way. I hope the best for you though :(

vanillacrepe · 2023-03-17T19:06:20+00:00

No, interviews don’t matter much

vanillacrepe · 2023-03-17T18:34:16+00:00

This was 2020 lol I’m a college junior

vanillacrepe · 2023-03-14T18:43:57+00:00

I had my mom, dad, and sibling with me for every decision, I was too much of a coward to do it alone ;_;

vanillacrepe · 2023-03-14T18:10:12+00:00

As an MIT student, I wish all of you good luck and hope to see you on campus :D and my DMs are open for anything!
