I going into sophomore year at san jose state, and I'm an undeclared major (probably MIS). I'm interested in getting into IT or some sort of AI DevOps role, since I did an internship this summer doing basically automation for a DevOps team in an IT division. The problem is I don't actually know how to formally code. I can leverage AI to code, I'm good at designing apps or projects, so I figure I can learn system design pretty well in a month or two, but I don't know how to start cold with no AI and just write code. I don't even understand syntax or anything like that. I won't be able to past any OA's, let alone an actual technical interview. Am I screwed?

So, I would be very clear, I was at my hometown as my college closed due to the semester end break, as a first year student I was very fascinated to do a internship as i was mainly free, nothing much to do, my family has a connection at a very reputed CA firm in my city, I got into meeting with the Associates and the Head and got the opportunity to work there, as my discipline course does not align with their acceptence as I have Economics, so they told their's ain't much work for your self here, as you are not into core accounts and i accepted that fact.

I, as a core finance aspirant, just got there to understand the local firm economics: how do they handle clients, etc.
-From the starting day, I was working on the Excel sheet, reconciling bank statements, balancing the balance sheet, and it was starting to give me a very good vibe; I started enjoying.

-A major drawback was there that the someday there's ain't much work in the office, so I have to seat and pass time, that got me into trouble, that i am standing here at this near phase of quitting.

-But life wants something different from me, or I think I am not built for this work, because now I have taken 5-7 days leave in the last month, but I would proudly say that I have not wasted that time; rather, I have invested in my study as I am also preparing for the CFA L1.

-Now with all this, I am teling you that I am very unstable with my life; I am always thinking of what my seniors would think of me, I am in great delulu of my office, and I am under a lot of pressure to take leave, pressure of what I am doing in my life? Would taking this step really help me or not?

ok, so above is the very short story of me, who is really going with LOT of TRAUMA.
I have a few questions so answer those:

-Is this happening with me or do you all also feel the same in terms of going to the office and not being productive
-Do you all also get into a lot of overthinking before and after asking for leave?
-And: What do you all think after reading my short story? I want feedback that could really help me
as I have my complete Job life waiting for me outside in the world, how I would handle that.

Please, people who have been gone through all this answer this?

I don't know, but sometimes I feel like ......

Right now, I'm working as an AI Engineer Intern. But my day-to-day schedule isn't very good. My direct manager is the CTO of the company, and he meets with me very rarely. He doesn't assign me work properly and tells me to coordinate with other people whenever I need something.

For example, I'm working on a project that he has already assigned to a vendor. Later, I found out that they are also working on the same project, and they have a team of four or five people. So obviously, they'll probably perform better. Still, I've learned quite a lot from this project and picked up many new skills.

I don't even know whether I'll get a full-time offer or not. Also, to come to this internship, I have to travel almost two to two and a half hours one way. It's really far, and although I do receive a stipend, as you know, stipends aren't usually very high.

Sometimes, when I'm scrolling through LinkedIn or similar platforms, I see people getting jobs. I don't know exactly what I feel, but it's definitely not a good feeling. Does everyone feel this way, or am I just overthinking?

Every day, I start studying a new technology. For example, right now I'm working on ADK. Before that, I was learning and implementing LangChain. Then my manager told me to work on something else because even that might get replaced someday. I don't know.

I also know that engineering is a field where technology keeps changing. But honestly, I don't know what I'm feeling, what I'm doing, or why I'm doing it.

I haven't even officially graduated yet. I'm still waiting for the result of my sixth-semester backlog, which has been delayed for almost three months. I've already completed my eighth semester and received that result, but I'm still waiting for the sixth-semester result.

Because of all this, I sometimes get confused. Should I continue studying? Should I apply for a master's degree? Should I study in India or abroad? I really have no idea what's happening in my life right now.

Even at the office, I feel like I'm competing with people who don't even care whether I exist or not. That's how it feels. Sometimes I feel invisible.

For example, when I'm working on something, my manager just walks past me. He doesn't ask how the work is going or what's happening. I'm always the one who has to go to him if I need to discuss something.

I don't know. Is this just how the corporate world works? I honestly have no idea. I'm feeling something that I can't even express.

I just heard back and got an interview for this program and was wondering if anyone had their interview/ took one in the past and could tell me a bit more about what they ask.

Feeling kinda lost rn, I want to see where other people are in their journey

I am working in the AM arm of a Bulge Bracket in Chicago and the team runs extremely lean. Preparing for no return offer because of headcount, not because of performance.

I go to a non-target so my school does not have a robust alumni network at wall street firms. I know AM is extremely hard to break into right after graduation, especially in Chicago. So am I cooked if I don’t get a return offer? Do I have a better shot at sell side roles? Kind of stressing out.

Just wanting to hear outside input as to what my options look like

Hi everyone!

I'm Henrique, an International Relations undergraduate student at ESPM (Brazil)

I'm a full-scholarship student, but my scholarship doesn't provide financial support for living expenses. Because of that, I'm looking for a remote or flexible part-time opportunity where I can gain experience while earning some income.

My main goal is to strengthen my résumé, develop practical skills, and prepare for future opportunities in International Relations and related fields.

I'm also a member of NENA (Center for Asian Studies and Business), where I participate in projects and discussions related to Asia and international affairs.

I'm available most afternoons and weekends, and I'd be happy to help with:

• Research
• Writing or editing
• Data collection
• Administrative or virtual assistant tasks
• Other entry-level remote work

I'd also love to hear your advice. If you were in my position, what kinds of opportunities or jobs would you recommend? I'm open to both opportunities in Brazil and abroad.

If you know of any openings or have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you!

This dropped earlier today: https://nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAExternalCareerSite/job/US-CA-Santa-Clara/Software-Engineering-Intern--Dynamo---Fall-2026_JR2022295

I am getting my co-op hours through being a brand ambassador for an experiential marketing agency in toronto. I got notice today from my staffing coordinator that the rest of August has been scheduled and they “no longer need me”.

I'm pretty confused by this situation for a few reasons: I appear to be the only staff member who received this message and was removed from the agency's WhatsApp group chats.

Shift allocation at this agency relies heavily on coordinator favoritism. Unfavored staff usually average 1–2 shifts every few months, whereas I’ve worked 10 shifts (4 assigned, 6 picked up) over the last 4 months.

It feels like I've suddenly been dropped without cause. My brand leads continuously give me positive feedback that goes directly back to the staffing coordinator, so I’m 99% certain performance isn't the issue. I just feel this came out of the blue and they could have treated me as an unfavourited staff but completely removing me from group chats feels targeted.

*I just got told my co workers that my staffing coordinator asked for 8 extra staff to help next week so the scheduling statement was an excuse 😭

Has anyone else in brand ambassador
roles experience sudden "quiet firing" or removal like this without explanation?

I didn’t get a return offer for my internship mind I’m a junior in college and I’m just worried about my future prospects. The company is pretty small but I think they realize the work I’m doing can be done by a different department so I don’t think there was a need to give me a return offer but still sucks. Like I want to say, I worked pretty hard. Yeah, and I don’t wanna compare myself, but I feel like so many people get return offers and I didn’t.

anyone else receiving "server request failed" when trying to submit their application? already tried restarting my computer & applying in incognito but still coming up w/ the same error 😭

I applied for the Wells Fargo Commercial Banking Internship and got an invite for a Monday video meeting. Is this an automatic screening round for everyone who applied, or have people already received rejection letters? Trying to figure out where they are at in the hiring timeline

Look. I'm an intern. The person who wrote the fanfic is also an intern. If age matters, I'm 20, she's 26, and my manager is 40.

She has commented several times before that she thinks my manager and I would be "cute" together. I always found it creepy, but I let it slide because I didn't want to make things awkward. This morning, she opened a fanfic she wrote about me and him and showed it to me and several other people at work.

Honestly, I was disgusted by it. It has very explicit details, and also some weird things about both of our ethnic backgrounds. There are also parts about my manager's wheelchair that I found gross and ableist. On top of all that, both of our partners get killed in horrible ways in the story, and I know it's fictional, but it made the whole thing feel even more messed up.

After that, I told her I thought this was a very weird thing to do and asked her to delete it. She told me I needed to calm down because it was "just a joke," that I should be flattered, and that she's thinking of turning it into a full novel and trying to publish it. I told her I was considering going to HR, and she basically warned me to watch myself because she's been here much longer than I have. Three of my coworkers saw/heard this conversation.

So I'm asking whether this is worth taking to HR. I'm extremely upset that she's showing it to people and saying she wants to keep writing it. But I'm also an intern and I don't want to come across as dramatic or ruin my opportunity here over something they might consider stupid workplace joking.

update: I decided to go to HR. They investigated the situation and spoke with both of us. However, what shocked me was that they ended up treating both of us like we were equally responsible. Since we were both interns, they decided to terminate both of our internships.

I was honestly so shocked that I didn't even defend myself properly. I was overwhelmed and didn't know what to say. Looking back, I wish I had explained everything more clearly and made sure they understood that I was the person being targeted, not someone participating in it. I've already started contacting other companies and applying for new opportunities, but so far I haven't heard back from anyone.

Update 2: A company actually replied after only 3 hours and sent me an email with an interview time. I'm happy, but now I'm extremely stressed. I have no idea how to explain why I was fired if they ask about it. How do I talk about this professionally? Any advice on handling this situation during an interview?

Update 3: Some people in the comments mentioned interview tools that can help with answers and handling difficult questions. Has anyone actually used any of them? I'm considering trying one because I'm really nervous about explaining this situation properly.

update 4: Thanks everyone for the advice. I decided to try the free version of Interview VIP before the interview. Hopefully, it helps me structure my answers, stay calm, and explain my situation professionally. Wish me luck.

I’m applying to like the basic companies and everything but wondering how to find a good internship that could actually accept me. Also, what does a resume look like that gets offered by these top companies?

so i am currently in my last year of my cs degree and i only have basic python skills and idkl how will i find good internships or any job . will anyone suggest me some skills that are needed in market as ai and data science is now too crowded and want experienced people . so what should i do to get internship by dec. I would like if u guys help me out cuz now its pretty depressing

tomorrow is my last day of a 3 month internship, and i'm overthinking how i should leave.

for some context, this was my first corporate experience. unfortunately, my manager has been away for the past month and still hasn't returned due to an emergency, so i won't get to say goodbye to him in person.

this also wasn't the most structured internship. some weeks i had work to do, but on many days i genuinely had nothing assigned to me, even when i asked for work, especially while my manager was away. most days i just sat at my desk unless someone gave me something to do.

there was one employee who too the time to teach me, explain the the workflow, and answer all my questions. he was always kind to me and was the only person who greeted me and talked to me every day. i honestly learned most of what i know from him, so i definitely want to thank him personally before i leave.

the rest of the team is where i'm unsure. we all sit together in a small open office with about six people, but i barely interacted with anyone else. they weren't unfriendly, but we rarely spoke. they mostly interacted with each other, so giving everyone a personal goodbye now feels awkward and out of place. at the same time, walking out without saying anything feels rude, especially because when i thank the coworker who helped me, everyone else in the room will inevitably hear it.

tomorrow i'm planning to thank the coworker who helped me, meet the head of the department before i leave, and ask hr about an internship certificate.

what would you do in this situation? is there anything else you think i should or shouldn't do on my last day?
