Go to school gng

#

And it’s in Austin

#

Unless you desperately need the money it doesn’t seem worth it

#

And I’m guessing you already have internships so it wouldn’t like make your res incredibly more impressive

#

Are u passing res screens rn?

#

I mean you could just chill have good time w friends

#

It’s the end of ur senior year

#

Damn 😭

#

That’s sad mayne

#

How tf will you have time to recruit then

#

What does 996 mean

#

Oh wtf

pastel shard
#

whats the name of the startup

#

oh

#

fade it

#

what are you optimizing for?

#

if learning's ur goal idt methodfi talent density is super high

#

i would 100% fade and do school

#

and recruit somewhere better, the money you make here will be marginal compared to how much more you could earn with better FT j*b

#

100%

#

if this was pylon or equivalent i would say 100% worth

#

Deadass

#

Cs recruiting is not your entire life goddamn

pastel shard
#

and if u wanna be a founder it'll help you to see what startup culture is like

vague finch
#

You can have fun in any other way

#

With your friends

#

I hope

pastel shard
#

realistically probably not

#

startups expect interns to work like FTs

outer ibex
#

does ur school not enforce minimum credit semesters lol

pastel shard
#

they'll work u to the bone 5x days a week

outer ibex
#

also can u not push fall into spring or summer

pastel shard
#

i think optimal strategy is go to school, push to spring, recruit for a good full time job. best of all 3 worlds

outer ibex
#

let them shoot u down first ig, doing spring would let u recruit for better

#

lmao ur gonna have less fun as a working adult than in college this is meaningless

pastel shard
#

nah

outer ibex
#

no way they revoke offer

pastel shard
#

startups aren't like that

modest otter
#

don't do it so they can give it to me

pastel shard
#

u don't just burn a bridge, be reasonable and let them know u want to wrap school up first

outer ibex
#

☠️

vague finch
#

That’s not the main reason the main reason is it’s some fuck ahh company in Austin Texas working 60 hrs a week

#

If your entire life is computer science and your job then do it

outer ibex
#

bruh

pastel shard
#

im willing to bet that they'll still accomodate spring

#

whats ur prev

outer ibex
#

another unicorn

pastel shard
#

modern treasury is fairly valid

#

i think this is lwk a step down, but ur call

#

oh fr? LMFAO idk that

#

wait ur a senior right?

#

word

#

oh breh

#

i thought u were just pickin up leetcode

#

honestly u will be fine

#

just take it fall and do school on the side

#

aight everyone's on the same page

#

idk abt lc context

#

u good, just take fall, keep a lighter schedule, make sure u dont burn out

#

why u putting urself down bro

#

just go work on yourself, start lifting, taking care of your body

#

did they explicitly say 9-9-6?

#

wdym

#

yea but they know ur an intern probs like 10 hrs of work everyday

#

but no work on weekends

#

very manageable

#

i think 50 hrs a week is what u should expect

#

dude startups dont give a fuck about this

#

its called "at will work" literally will be a clause in the contract

#

i would fade school, lock in on recruiting and make sure to apply to everything on time

#

i think big thing is

#

ur self confidence seems low, so i feel like you should prioritize things outside of work to help yourself, just my friendly advice

#

to each their own ig

#

good luck gang keep us updated

#

I am kinda late but heard a guy from UT who worked summer pretty intense work culture like 6 days a week but Austin is a great city

#

So maybe being in Austin helps you network for full time

#

No startup (esp at series b) will give equity for interns. That’s an unreasonable ask

valid minnow
#

I still somewhat disagree, they pay enough that you won’t lose money ($55/hour isn’t bad) and you’ll gain experience that’ll help

#

But yeah it’s not an easy decision

valid minnow
#

Can you explain what the real downside is? Worst case they take a semester off of school and learn a bunch before going back? It hurts recruiting slightly but having more experience will help with resume screens and you don’t need THAT much time to recruit for the summer

valid minnow
#

That’s the best of both worlds, perfect

#

You get to recruit for the summer and then go work during the spring then straight to a summer internship

#

55/hr

#

996 would get u like 4800/week

valid minnow
#

Will not horrible pay though for an intern. Obv could be slightly better but enough that you’ll save some and then most importantly get good experience

#

can i pm u abt methodfi process? i just got the recruiter call ;v; @brisk adder

#

only do fall internship if ur willing to work there full time and want a job there

#

intern money is insignificant in the long run (not saying it isnt a lot of money)

#

personally I made the hard decision of rejected tesla fall because I just wanted to enjoy my senior year and be near my friends

#

and i would take my summer return over it

#

so i think thats the main consideration

#

but i didnt read all the messages tbh
