Offered a skillbridge internship with a company, best advice for those who have successfully gained employment after? Did you stay at that company or did you seek out other companies?

I stuck around for a while, but did end up transitioning to a different company after a few years. Skillbridge is supposed to be a starting point for you to build your career, whatever that looks like after is up to you and how you wanna grow

Do you have any specific ambitions for your future? There's no one correct way to handle your transition into the workforce. You can choose to stay where you are, work for an internal promotion, apply for an entirely different job, etc...

Really is up to you, like others said. Did you already get that job offer or is it still an internship?

Best advice I can give you is that you focus on getting the most out of your intership. Develop your skills, do some networking, and really think about whether you want a job in whatever field you chose. You should treat it like a learning experience and inform your next career choice based on what you learned there

Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have long-term? Is your internship aligned with that vision? May I ask what kind of job you were able to land?

Map out your ideal career path and plan accordingly. If you're not sure about what you would like to do in the future, absorb every bit of information you can at the intership, make a note of all the pros and cons of that job and see which parts of it you like and dislike. This will help you make a more informed decision about what kind of roles you're interested in and what skills you should develop to get there.

You can do anything from there really, stay at the company, switch roles, become a freelancer, start your own business, go back to school for further specialization. It's really up to you, the intership is your opportunity to get a taste of life in the workforce and see what appeals to you about it

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

I've only been here 8months & want to leave as I need the money. Should I start looking elsewhere even if I haven't been here for a year?

I’m working in a large fund; market neutral public market strategy funds; am about to be recommended for a promotion to associate. However, an analyst position just opened up internally in Credit, which is where I aspire to be for the next ten years. More growth and more intellectual challenge. I’m conflicted about applying for a lateral transfer and losing out on a promotion. Will I be missing out a promotion or should I negotiate a promotion as part of my application to this role ?
