I was doing the internship for the past three months. Everything was all good and fun, the stakeholders seemed to like the way I handled the end of sprints, told me they were feeling engaged when I presented what I have done. At the last meeting my manager said my communication skills were impeccable and I was quite curious and enthusiastic. I didn't get anything remotely in the spirit of "hey look, this isn't the way it's supposed to be, you're making yourself look bad" kind of talk. When my manager told me they were not going to extend an offer I was shocked. Did I fall into the trap of hire to fire? What to do next? Do I wait until graduation to find a job? Do I hunt for internships again? Do I learn Java and grind LC? TLDR: Local man yells at cloud
Step 1: Align your expectations with the reality.
Always a good advice
Amazon internship on resume is very heavy. Great launchpad.
You have the AWS internship in your CV, it’s a positive. Use it to go somewhere better.
Blessing in disguise. Same happened to me 5 years ago. Don't join that shit hole. Lots of good companies out there
I also was trying to look at it this way too. Can you imagine same mindset came into play in a performance review when you have a family or a mortgage?
They are testing your resilience and response to rejection. I see companies do this on purpose all the time. Give your MD a call and tell him to explain why you weren’t hired full time because through your lease you checked off all the boxes.
Interesting. Would they pull something like this to an intern? I don't put anything past Amazon but this would be a new low
The fact that you don’t know Java is alarming, maybe you’re just not that technical and they saw that so yeah learn Java and do leetcode
The team wasn't SDE OR SWE, I'd be surprised if L6s knew Java
In that case I wouldn’t blame myself, I think it’s just them. Sometimes people just don’t like us and it has nothing to do with what how we act or work
Within months your LinkedIn will be flooded with amazon recruiter emails. Don't worry.
Does that actually happen? I would laugh really hard if that were to be the case
Just tell everyone that you rejected them.
This is the way
Op what are you? Data analyst?
Cloud infrastructure
Don't get too emotional about it. It's business. Just move on. You'll get there.
That's what experienced friends told me too
