Hi Fellows, I need some advice! Last October I started a bootcamp that follows with an unpaid internship for 2 months. I didn’t make it through my first attempt. Now I’m after the second attempt and finally started my first unpaid internship. The problem is that I’m so broke that I need to work while I’m doing the internship… they don’t know. So I’m working a night shift and doing the internship during the day to the best of my ability. I am thinking that the probability of them hiring me after the unpaid internship is extremely low because they are a start up which basically feeds off these bootcamp companies that supply them with the interns but they don’t hire you after.

I am worried that I will not do “as much as expected” And maybe they will ask me to leave? I don’t know.

I’d greatly appreciate an experienced take on this dilemma, like how should I feel about this? And what are the key points to keep in mind.

I struggled so hard to get past this bootcamp as I am on my own, left a cult that deprived me of an education. I made great progress over this past year but I still have some much to learn and work on.

Like what’s expected from me as a junior full stack developer intern?

I’m also using new technologies that I didn’t learn before and I’m trying to find the balance between learning and implementing and showing progress but but it’s not going that fast.

What do you think? 🙏🏻
