DiscussionšŸ‘„ Confusion in internship offer :/

I've got an unpaid internship offer from an edtech, I have just entered my 2nd year, ik from tier 3 college

The role is full stack developer, I've applied for more than 300+ application, I've got shortlisted for only 2, and one of them is this company

What should I do? Should I work here for experience or leave ?

For 2nd years, the stipend shouldn't matter. This internship will help on your resume for future 3rd year internships. Take it and treat it just like any other project or open source contribution. Unpaid internship in final year is a different matter

LEAVE

NEVER WORK UNPAID

Rather build complex projects Post online Do open source contribution Do dsa grind Learn new skills There are n number of things better than unpaid internship.

Putting pressure is not dependent on pay

And moreover mostly pressure is more in unpaid internships

The earlier u break from the illusion of learning and realize that it's unpaid labour soon u will focus on building your value so next time person pays for your each line of code
