I am an undergrad computer science student and tech intern at T-Mobile. I will be graduating in June and have been working as an intern since last July. I have generally gotten good feedback at work. However, I recently found out that there isn't headcount in my team for me to be hired permanently when I graduate. There has been some talk of T-Mobile's TechX Associate rotational program being an option for me. Does anyone have experience with this rotational program? Is it a good option?

Hi so got the verbal offer for Google for an L4 but I’m asked to give the first number of what I want for TC, I looked at levels.fyi and I see the average is 275k but I see as high as 388k, would it be ok to start with 350k and then work my way down? Or is that too absurd? Also, how do the RSUs work?
We say “Summer Analyst”
“Technical Rotation”
What’s wrong with the word intern?
Apprentice?
Apprentice 😎
Apprenticeship
I think we used summer scholar while in consulting. The majority of early talent resumes I see say “intern.”
If you’re an intern, you’re an intern.

I don't think there is a single word to swap in that will adequately convey the context you're wanting to include, as the vast majority in that role aren't in your unique situation. I think apprentice comes closer, and isn't a word HR typically sees, which may be enough to direct their attention the the following sentence that describes where you're at in your career.
it doesn't really matter from what I've found. I had a day job/title but quit for grad school and took some internships in different fields. No one actually cared about the timeline like I thought they would. I don't think the intern title will necessarily hold you back but it's about how you communicate the experience in resumes, cover letters, interviews etc
Nike uses “cohort.”
Basically I was working full-time and took an internship in a new industry in my past experience. I was always asked why I would take an internship after having full time. In addition, as I’m looking for new roles, I thought removing the word intern would be more favorable to recruiters, given my case above. But that’s just my thought.
I think intern would look more favorable than not calling your title intern if you only worked there for a summer or semester.
Investment role
In your situation for a resume I would substitute whatever the position is that most closely aligned to the work you were doing. If I were to fill a level 1 analyst role with an intern for a few months, they are still doing the work of an analyst and I would have no problem with them listing it as such on a resume. The short timeframe will likely raise a question during your interview and at that point I would expect you would use the opportunity to explain the internship and your desire to switch career paths etc.
