My friend is a Software Intern II in Yahoo Mail team. He was wondering how to approach his manager to ask if a full-time role would be offered to him. Has anyone here gone through this process? What is the expected timeline? He needs to plan for an early graduation in December, but he can't without a job offer. Can he ask other teams in Yahoo regarding a full-time job? Posting on his behalf as he is yet to join blind. Remote job, $35 per hour TC. #engineering #software #swe #intern #yahoo
I think, they can ask about it in theirs 1:1. They should start the conversation with asking about conversion process. Once they are clear on that, they can ask more specific questions. I think they can explore other teams if they get negative response from their manager.
Also talked to the engineers in team who are converted to full time from internship
Managers are just now being asked whether we want to convert any of our interns. This is a perfect time for your friend to talk to their manager. Ideally they should already be having regular 1-1s. If not, they should ask for a meeting directly or ask their mentor to help set one up.
Intern conversions are not guaranteed but are part of the program. Be positive when you talk to your manager, and focus on the work and the challenges you'd like to encounter, not the job.
