^This. As an intern you almost likely won’t be doing pivotal life changing work, but you can absorb a ton of knowledge from those you work with

Observe how the all business operations are conducted. How things get done, how to handle hiccups, persuasion, and meetings.

Network. Build a good personal brand and be reliable and committed to your work. People will remember you for when a FT role comes around.

Completely agree with SOM1, the more you network and build a positive image of yourself, the more the workers will remember you. I’ll also say try to think of ways you can make a good impact while even only being an intern. Maybe helping smooth processes if possible.

Hi Fishes,

Could someone help answer this.
I have a offer from CTS and I'm considering joining here but I've heard a lot of bad remarks regarding bench policy.

Now I'm worried whether i will get a project once I join here or will I get kicked out in 30 days if not.

Tech stack: Mulesoft

This is the first time I'm switching companies so I'm really worried about how life will be if I take the risk and join here.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
