I recently joined a company as an intern, expecting to learn, gain experience, and get some guidance from experienced people.

Instead, I'm the only intern, and I've been tasked with building an entire Inventory Management System (IMS) from scratch.

The company has been using Tally for years, but now they want a new system that will eventually replace their existing software. I was hired specifically for this project, apparently with the expectation that I can use AI tools like Claude to build it.

The problem is that this isn't some small college project. It involves understanding the company's workflows, inventory processes, database design, frontend, backend, and a lot of business-specific requirements.

I'm expected to figure most of this out on my own. There's practically no technical guidance or mentorship from the company.

I'm willing to learn, put in the effort, and use AI as a tool. I don't expect everything to be spoon-fed to me. But I joined as an intern expecting an opportunity to learn under experienced people, not to independently take responsibility for building an entire business-critical system.

I understand that internships can involve challenging work, but shouldn't there be some supervision, especially when the end goal is to replace software the company has relied on for years?

**I'd like to hear your honest opinions:**

- Is this a normal expectation for an intern?

- Am I underestimating myself, or is the company asking too much?

- Can one person realistically build something like this with AI assistance but no proper technical guidance?

- Should I see this as a great learning opportunity or a red flag?

I'm not afraid of hard work. I just want to know whether this is normal in the industry or whether I'm being given responsibilities that should realistically be handled by a team.

**TL;DR:** Joined as an intern expecting mentorship and learning opportunities. Instead, I'm the only intern and am expected to build an entire IMS to replace the company's existing Tally-based setup, with practically no guidance. Am I overreacting?

Hey everyone!

I'm a final-year B.Tech Data Science student with a 9.74 CGPA, aspiring to become an ML/AI Engineer.

I've built hands-on projects in Machine Learning and Generative AI, including a RAG-based PDF assistant and DYNAMO, a dynamic multi-agent orchestration system that I've recently deployed. I'm also learning MLOps and DevOps to strengthen my engineering skills.

Being from a Tier-3 college, I've found it challenging to access industry opportunities. Despite applying to several internships on LinkedIn and Indeed, I haven't had much luck so far. With my academic internship requirement approaching, I'm reaching out to this community for guidance.

I'm looking for a remote internship in Machine Learning, AI/GenAI, or related fields where I can contribute, learn from experienced engineers, and gain practical industry experience.

If you've been in a similar situation, know of any openings, or can suggest better ways to find opportunities, I'd genuinely appreciate your advice or a lead.

Thank you for reading. Any guidance would mean a lot!

So I am from a tier 1 university, having cleared all the major competitive exams. And before you think, no I am not from IIT (the only private tier 1 university). In my life I had done nothing but study, so naturally I did that in college as well, so now in my third year I am with 8.9 CGPA which will allow me to sit in all the placement interviews.

Here comes the issue, I am from a lower branch so many companies place branch criteria which I cannot clear, and I don't enjoy coding much (though I am doing a bit of SQL) I tried python, C, Java and even one tech internship (college mandatory course) so I am sure I don't want to spend my career coding.

I want to get some financial freedom and start earning while in college but I can't go out because of campus restrictions, and the only skill I have is I can learn and adapt fast, which is why I believe startups are best for me. But they all want on site candidates.

How do I get a good internship which pays decent and I get to learn a lot?
The positives I have is my college is famous and it will open doors, I got a few offers in bound (without applying) but all were on site. I can learn fast and adapt quickly, I always deliver the work on time. The negatives are I can't do hybrid or on site roles, and I don't want to do any unpaid work or work at very less pay. My target is somewhere around 15-20k per month while giving about 25 hours per week.

Need guidance on where to apply, how to apply and what roles to look for? (Tried linkedin, internshala and wellfound) Wellfound I haven't tried much just one or two roles but they are mostly tech roles.

Does anybody a good internship tracker for european companies, cause all the trackers I see are for american ones?

Very curious. You guys may or may not have seen those social media videos of people using AI tools sneakily during zoom/MS Teams interviews. I'm not saying I used AI during an interview

Got offer for both looking to decide on the next week or so. Which of these would be the better offer to take. Compensation is fairly similar locations are McLean and then NYC for JPMC. Project and placements wise would most likely be consumer banking related for both (so no CIB projects for JPMC). I’m pretty sold on JPMC for location reasons but would love any other insights.

Hi everyone! I'm from India and currently learning Python. I'm interested in international internships, including remote opportunities.

What skills should I develop, and where can I find legitimate internships that accept applicants from India?

I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you!

if you still don’t have a summer 2027 internship, don’t panic.

seriously.

yes, a lot of internships have already opened and closed.

yes, some people are already posting their offers on linkedin.

but recruiting is far from over.

i’ve been tracking summer 2027 internship postings every day, and nearly 20,000 internships have been posted in just the last 30 days.

not total.

in the last 30 days.

HERE IS THE LIST

companies are still dropping new internships constantly across:

• software engineering
• finance / investment banking
• consulting
• marketing
• product
• data / ai
• engineering
• accounting
• sales
• operations / supply chain
• hr
• design
• research
• healthcare
• legal / policy
• and a bunch more

some huge employers are still posting new roles too. i’ve seen new opportunities coming from companies like amazon, salesforce, caterpillar, northrop grumman, nissan, dow jones, and plenty of others.

so if you’ve been scrolling linkedin watching people announce their internships and starting to feel like you missed your chance:

you didn’t.

but you do need to keep going.

keep applying.

keep checking for new roles.

keep improving your resume.

keep reaching out to people.

getting rejected from 20 internships does not mean the 21st won’t be the one.

and please don’t make the mistake of applying to 5 dream companies and then deciding the internship market is impossible.

there are literally thousands of companies hiring interns.

so i put nearly 20,000 summer 2027 internships posted within the last 30 days into one giant free list.

every listing has a direct application link so you can skip linkedin/indeed and go straight to the employer.

HERE IS THE LIST

i’m going to keep updating it as new internships get posted and old ones close.

if you haven’t landed something yet, keep fighting.

i’m right there with you.

hopefully this makes the search a little easier.

good luck guys :)

So I’ve been a couple of weeks in in this new company (it’s a startup if that’s useful information) as a paid intern. Everything is going good, supervisor and colleages are easygoing and understanding and the office climate is pretty healthy minus for the typical corporate bs from time to time. And I’m doing my work the best I can with good attitude.

Last friday boss of my delegation writes me an email saying if I could help him with a task: buying some gifts for a couple of workers for their good performance. But says it’s important to not tell anyone in the office because it’s a suprise.
He tells me then to go to the nearest supermarket and send him photos of mugs and gift cards, because he was busy that day with meetings, etc…

I think this is strange af but we all heard of the typical mundane and humiliating tasks interns are told to do, and in my case this is a paid position in a good office environment so I just oblige.

Long story short, I sent him some photos but they weren’t the gift cards he wanted. However, he expected me to pay forward for the gifts with my own money (big red flag) And during the following Saturday he emails me that Monday morning I should go to the big city where the office is located to go buy the gifts cards he wants.

This creates another problem because I gotta be working from 9am, and these kind of stores open at 11:00am in the city. So how I’m supposed to justify that time out of the office when it’s a surprise??

Again, no mention of how to proceed with the payment. But I’m sure as hell I won’t be paying for expensive gift cards, giving that I’m a broke student too and I’m not even my first month in, so I haven’t been paid yet (monthly salary where I live in)

I’m very concerned of having problems with the boss, looking incompetent and much more about losing this job because I really need the money and experience right now.

basically the title. Looking for previous intern’s insight as to their experience. For context, i got an offer for BR and pretty deep in the process for GS though not solidified yet. Both in NYC

So I am a top university (IIT B/D/M) in India in Electrical Engineering. I am currently in my 2nd year. I have previously done an internship on-site at an asian abroad university. This year for summer I am targeting US and EU Universities for Undergraduate Research Internship. I am assuming the market is bad and the competition is way too high. I have good amount of research experience and a paper soon under submission to reputed A tier conference. But I have a terrible GPA in 1st year (<2.5/4.0). But overall background apart from GPA is good, in Math, ML, CP, strong positive LORs etc. So due to these keeping in mind, I have only one option to secure, that is mass mailing, ofcourse customized. So I have around 2000 mails along with their body and all stuff, so how many E-mails per day is sufficient enough such that my mail, doesn't get into their SPAM/JUNK section and I know there is cap of 500 mails for GMail, but at once will make it suspicious, I really wish I could send 400 e-mails in 5 days ad finish, can someone please help me and guide me. Or will using my university mail ID be better for the mass mailing, as it might not have these strict algo restrictions by our institute. Please guide me, I really need you guys help!!

Hi! I’m preparing for the technology case interview for PwC can someone share what the tech cases usually look like or what they are about and if anyone remembers their case prompts.

Hi all, has anyone applied for a TikTok internship with a referral? Did you have success in terms of interview/offer? Very curious to know. Thanks!

I had my EY audit internship interview on 7 October and followed up after a week, but still haven't heard back. How long did you wait for a decision after your interview? Is silence this long normal, or a bad sign?
Thanks!

What are the timeline of this interview? I applied before their deadline and they said that interviews would be around October and November

Anyone who had experience with this role could share any insights about the timeline of getting an interview/receiving next steps?
