Data Science Masters Student Intern

Jan 18, 2020 11 Comments

My friend is doing a masters in data science from USC and have completed her 20 credits.
She is finding hard to get a call for her internship from different companies. What are suggestions and where all she can apply to get internship offer from companies for summer intern. Can anybody tell the hack as this is very crucial for her right now.
She has 3 years of experience working in Microsoft Indian development center.

    We have 400 applicants for one summer internship position. 350 of them will get cut before getting the take-home test, there are most likely a lot of good candidates there but because of sheer numbers I have 30 seconds tops per resume, if I don’t see what they can contribute to the team in 30 seconds they will never hear anything. Some are qualified but the projects we have for interns are in the wrong ML sub specialty.

    • But In general I want to raise a point here.. Sorry if it sounds offending.
      That why we want people to work?
      Like is it not that everyone of us have good time on earth and enjoy the work while spending time here ..
      Like this is too philosphical but can't we have any such model or open a company in such a way. I know that we can't hire everyone then also but how can we make people open to contribute and earn their living.
      May be all lies in imbalance in distribution of resources.
      And your point is correct for the level of competition and everyone has to deliver the best

      I agree, but I fear I will incur the wrath of Blind with my honesty. This is my personal opinion and I do not base hiring decisions on this (nor even have the information at my disposal while hiring)
      - we cannot employ the entire world. H1B should be the last resort if I really cannot find anyone with legal status to be in US already. The companies use H1B to basically avoid the cost of training more junior people

    Believe uber still hiring data analysts for masters students for interns this summer. Might not be what they’re looking for though that’s what we usually offer masters students.
