How bad does an intern have to mess up to not get a return offer?

not even that badly tbh. sometimes it really comes down to how well your manager likes you, which often you can (but not always) control. you just need to try your best and show a good attitude at all times. never let your guard down.

years ago, i got a return offer because one saturday i volunteered to work late to finish something and the partner was impressed. i heard later that it was the moment i had gotten myself a return offer. another intern on my start class said something out of line during one meeting one time and the VP in charge of his of project remembered, and he didn’t come back

Uuh one intern I knew let everyone that could hear know he didn't like his assigned group (included everyone in his group) and spent so much time trying to network to find a team he liked.

Not sure if he knew the group you work with during internship usually hires you for full-time... the team didn't want to extend an offer after he pretty much told them he didn't like it and never made attempts to cover it up.

The thing is we were allowed not to like our groups but ppl with common sense communicated directly to HR and they looked for a different group to bring you in full-time. Dont tell your currently assigned group you hate it knowing they put the recommendation in for if you get a full-time offer.

As a manager, I didn't really interact much with the intern we have. I'd check with the team occasionally if they are performing as expected and that's about it. So if you were on my team, you're getting an offer unless you screw something up big time.

Agree. It’s an offer unless there is a reason not to give an offer.

I did 3 internships in undergrad, none of them offered me full time position.

Managers wanted to keep me but HR said no because I was on a student visa

Let’s see, I had one intern back in my consulting days that consistently swore in front of the clients (everything but the f-word), fell asleep on a few occasions in the clients lunch / break area, and was caught sneaking drinks from the bar at firm functions even though he was underage. Needless to say he did not get an offer

I suppose the answer is to just bond at different times of the day, and revolve my relationships around non going out environments.

I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
