For Fall 2021. Last internship before graduating. Roblox and Uber are return offers. #tech #engineering #newgrad #newgradsalary
You already worked at Roblox I presume, I would choose a different place to try out. You can always go to Roblox as a new grad.
Any of them are fine. You can explore Twitter to compare more companies if you want.
Current intern at Roblox too, did your manager extend you an offer already ?
Yea my manager filled out the paperwork for me to get approval to return in the fall if I want. Also expected to get a new grad return offer as well.
As someone who worked with the intern program before at Roblox, I would say not Roblox. The internship program is not mature enough and there is a chance that you'll be screwed. Some are lucky and some are not.
Can you specify how some are screwed but others are not
It's the projects and the program. If you get a good mentor, then you're good. But plenty of my colleagues got bad mentors too. They don't have much of a consistent experience.
If you do another internship at Roblox and perform well and your team has headcount, then it's very likely you will get a return offer. And that's pretty nice
If I am understanding the situation currently I will still have a return offer for new grad even if I don't extend my internship to the fall.
I vote not Roblox. I really like working here. But getting experience elsewhere would be useful, and it doesn't sound like there's a downside.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get a fall internship for Twitter? Did you request that summer 2021 be pushed to fall, or did you apply directly to a fall application? I can’t seem to find the latter anywhere.
What's the pay?
Uber - $50/hr with $1.5k/month stipend. Remote. Twitter - $44/hr. Remote. Roblox -$9.3k a month ($58/hr) with $6k housing stipend. In-person.
Roblox is better choice even with same pay. No brianer if they're paying higher
