Also, how wrong is this concept of internship+ potential job offer?
They say "you might get a job offer at the end of internship" what is the guarantee in that? Internship is something where you tell me some stuff and i do exactly as told. How are you going to judge weather i am a correct person for the job or not?
And what about the pay? What of i don't liked the salary you thought to be okay for me? I am currently accepting to work at quarte the salary of what i will be expecting in job because its just for a few months . What are the chances that this company is going to pay me 4times the stipend they are currently giving for 12 months?
The ball is completely in their hands if i liked working there, might end up in a company with a lesser pay than i expect and if i don't , i will end up wasting my 4 months serving a company that didn't even valued me correctly -
@Lexter you were absolutely right. THANK YOU SO MUCH for writing this and making me reconsider my mentality
No matter how much i think i am sorted out regarding my career, one small shit happens and i am again confused.
I previously interned for 2 months in a company as an Android dev(it was a 4 month internship, but i got it reduced to 2 because of my college exams)
It was a nice ad based company. Their main focus was on their web products and had no Android product or team( they just had a thought for expanding in Android) . So clearly i was their first recruit/intern
I worked their, all alone, at my pace, without any external help. It was a picnic for me as nobody bossed me around or gave me deadlines as nobody knew my work, and i got paid. They would just wait me to report my daily work, i would write my stuff honestly, but i know they understood jack shit
I was told that once the alpha product is liked by the investors we will recruit a team, but i made the product in 1st month and never got info about any recruitment going on. I was just told to fix the bugs and work more on it.
When my internship ended , i was already bored out getting stuck at a place without any senior help . Plus they damaged relations with me on other reasons( halted my stipend for last month for 60 days, that's another rant, but it was mostly the stupidity of hr dept)
So now i started applying for other companies. My original company called me afterwards but i made an excuse to be out of state and talk after new year(it was honest)
Other companies are now showing interest with a lower pay , but now am feeling like a stupid person going from a decent pay and comfortable environment to a lesser pay but aggressive environment .
Should i contact my original company again? I feel guilty leaving them this way, but to be fair i was wasting my time there (quite literally, i was making my assignments and writing blogs there when stuck)
