I’m a PhD CS International student. I just got an offer into JPMorgan Chase AI/Data Science Summer Associate Internship program (Plano Texas). I’m also waiting for a feedback from Intuit Data Science Internship final round interview (San Diego). Please I’ll love to hear your thoughts on these two programs especially what to expect. I’m looking for a place where i can do more ML, good working culture/WLB, conversion to full time after internship, H1-B/GC sponsorship. Also ease of switching to better opportunities in future when I get better at leet coding. JPM TC: $115k base $2.5k for relocation Intuit TC: $60/hr $2k for relocation. Company housing provided. #engineering #software #swe
congratulations on the AIDS!🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha. You mean AI/DS?
OP has AIDS!
I don’t know much about the programs themselves, the compensation seems low though. It might be because you’re an international student, or maybe PhD students don’t get paid as much as I thought they got paid. I got paid $45-55 across my internships with bigger relocations
Wow! Did you intern at Amazon?
Strictly speaking for comp, $115k in Plano would even outweigh $115k in San Diego... Take JPMC.
JPMC initiates GC process in your 4th year on H1B. There were a few exceptions but that’s the overall HR policy for now. You should clarify with HR if you intend to take the full time offer later
Ok thanks.
Btw for the AI/DS program, there are a few groups that use interesting technologies and stacks but most of them are located in NYC. Based on your location, it seems to be either CCB risk or MRG which may be regressions and tree-based models. You can clarify if you want
General advise: stay away from big banks if you can, especially early in your career.
Please could you give reasons?
- Crippling bureaucracy - Legacy tech - Conservative / risk averse mindset - Ideal employee = just smart enough to maintain status quo and not break things. smart / innovative is useless and possibly bad - mostly dumb colleagues (so hardly any learning from the “experts”) - very hierarchical organization. Pay , respect, etc proportional to # people under you - substantially lower pay for early career compared to Tech - not meritocratic. talkers > doers - top management almost always non technical/STEM - restrictions of personal stock market trading for most teams (sure, Nancy Pelosi can blatantly trader on insider info. But as a lowly analyst at a bank, you shouldn’t) My advice is work else where until you decide you want to retire or have no more career aspirations. At that time join a big bank. If you come from Tech, you’ll be given a red carpet welcome and a fat pay check too. Otherwise a decent pay check with great WLB and stability that you’d value at that stage of your life. note: based on my experience in Consumer banking. Investment and asset management should be better, but still far behind any Tech.
What interests you? Tech or Finance/Trading? I think the intuit deal is pretty good that it includes housing, a major expense, plus San Diego is a great place to be! But Texas has no state tax, you will end up saving more there. But life is not just about money and savings as well. PS: maybe next time you should put ML/DS instead of AI/DS as it spells out.
Lol. Thanks
I’m interested in Tech not necessarily in Finance or trading. Just looking for ML roles
@testcrm, I’m interested in Tech not finance / trading
