Can interns get a day off if needed? Something important came up and I don’t want to miss it, but I also don’t want to impact my chances of getting a full time offer or how my team will react.

Yes. U can

Yes interns can get a day off if needed. Is it possible that people will look down upon you asking if they don’t consider reason important? Yes. P

And you only need one day? I’d say go for it. Just don’t act like you’re entitled to it when you bring it up.

It’s totally fine as long as you ask nicely.

In most cases, taking the day should be fine and your team will be 100% supportive. Not all days are created equal - day before release might be challenging, day towards the beginning of the project is obviously a lot easier. Key is to communicate with your team, present a plan for how the work will still get done and team won’t be impacted and let them know how important it is to you. If you were on my team, I’d help find a way to make it work.

If I wanted a Saturday off for a similar reason, just discuss it with who? Buddy, coach, partner, senior?

Yes, the fact of the matter is we do bend over backwards to try and give you all a good experience. This is an important family event. It is one day. Just let them know long in advance that this is happening and then ASK for the day, do not tell them you need it off. Asking is very important I really expect that it shouldn’t be an issue. It certainly wouldn’t be at EY

Get back to work. Someone needs to go pick up my coffee.

YES!!

Yes ask for it. I don’t think it would be a problem at all

You should discuss this with your team. You're not a helpless slave (although it might feel like it)

Taking one day off isn’t going to affect your offer.

How do you deal with irrational anxiety whenever your boss is saying “hey let’s schedule 1:1, I’ve got a few things to discuss”?
