- Shoud I complain to HR? Almost at the end of a horrible intern experience. Now I feel like the manager simply would like to squeeze me as experienced SDE rather than treating me as intern for training. That's why I'm given a project our of my scope as intern. Then the manager found me not that capable and would like to kic

- Ever been handed a program/task you knew you couldn’t handle ? Just a little background. Bare with me. I’ve been working in my group for 2 years, when I first got in, I got about 1 week of actual “mentorship”. And then was left to my own devices, I learned as much as I could on my own. Asked questions etc etc But at the end of the day that perspective and the
