I’m currently at an internship at a well-regarded agency. I only have 2 weeks left so I’ve been interviewing elsewhere on the off chance they don’t wait to keep me after the internship (so I’m not unemployed lol). The agency I’m interning with says they won’t let me know if they can extend a job to me until the last day of the internship. But of course I just got an offer from another agency and they’re not going to want to wait 2 more weeks. What the hell am I supposed to do?

Tell your current workplace. Negotiate.

I told my current workplace today! And my manager said they would let us know the last day of the internship. I guess I should assume that’s probably a “No” and I should accept the new offer😅

Yeah. Congrats!!

Yes tell your current agency and give them a chance to counter, if they don’t take the other job. And congrats!

I've found that if they aren't talking about it with you weeks before your end date as an intern it is a hard no.

Yeah. They just don’t want to create any bad blood while they can still squeeze life from you.

Congratulations, and yes, take the offer you have in hand. Also, that’s just rude business. I seriously hope this isn’t my company =\

It’s a smaller independent agency. But yeah it’s just sort of ridiculous that we won’t know if we’ll have a job the next week or not with no heads up haha
