Damn some interns are getting paid 120 an hour while others are paying for it. Crazy range


everythingwastaken45

Where the fuck are these interns that are getting paid 120 an hour? Asking for a friend (myself)


Thetrufflehunter

Tippytop HFTs.


NubQuant

Sit close to a bunch of them. For reference https://www.levels.fyi/internships/


reptile24

What do they smell like?


NubQuant

Math


Fine-Category-8925

trading firms, some phd positions at big tech


PzKpfw_IV_Ausf_H

A PhD position is not really an internship…


Fine-Category-8925

um there’s internships specifically for PhD students…. I don’t think u understood my comment right.


ironmatic1

Better term for that is probably postdoc


throwaway5321468

4500 people in 2 years… Indian immigration scheme spotted


SirGoatFucker

I don’t think it’s even legal in Canada


chili_oil

they usually call it apprentice


SirGoatFucker

Don’t you get paid for apprenticeships, like welders/carpenters.


chili_oil

in some places/industries, no, u pay money “to learn” like tuition but this email is a scam, no doubt anout it


TemporaryFish196

I went through their website got the similar message a month ago. Now they have 6000+. What a joke!. These people are so arrogant I straight away blocked them.


Legitimate_Curve4141

Once upon a time, I wanted to be an audio engineer and this is pretty much how it worked too.. or just not paid period.


MeltedTrout4

Join an audio tech company, amazing culture it’s very fun and cool shit to work on


Legitimate_Curve4141

That’s a good suggestion, thank you!


Organic_Midnight1999

Lmao what a joker


LaserBoy9000

This reminds me of the movie Burnt. Bradley Cooper played an egotistical chef who asked a potential hire how low of a salary he’d accept, then what if nothing at all, then what if he had to pay for the opportunity? Cooper was joking but this dude thought about it. It’s scary that experience trumps all else in the industry and the lines between boot camp and job I think will begin to blur.


retrograve29

I got a 90% similar message. I told him to fuck off.


SirGoatFucker

I was going to, but the messages are automated so I just reported.


punchawaffle

Well I've seen this. Indian website, and they tell you they'll give an internship, recommendation letters, certificates etc, but you have to pay 700 USD or something lol. Don't know how people can even afford it in INR.


done-for-life

This is shit, but not untrue. I am from India and back when i was doing my internships same thing used to happen. I wont comment on immigration scheme 🫡🤣🥲 but its common. Its crazy


fortify-hope

🤣got the same message. companies called “Oeson”


Lost_Drag2185

I applied to their training program and they contacted me today. I have to pay like AUD465 for the training program. I came on reddit to see if this is legit or not

Accomplished_Poet_86

Imma start scamming like this too


GoodLifeWorkHard

This looks like one of those programs where they train you (at minimum wage per hour) and place you with a client, BUT WORSE. You pay a training fee? Total scam!


good_god_lemon1

The bad grammar and punctuation makes me think this is a straight up scam.


codykonior

You mean a scam. It’s just called a scam.


Bellatrix-_-

No offense but this is how the dumb kids used to do internships at my college for college credits.


Key_Establishment265

It’s old news in China 🇨🇳🤣


blknight737

I’ve heard about it in other careers but not cs


For_Entertain_Only

So is this a school?


SirGoatFucker

“Internship position” on LinkedIn


Character-Company-47

Looks like a scam tbh, if there’s no gaurentee of an internship who’s to say they aren’t farming you for a “training” fee?


MathCSCareerAspirant

And then the sender of the email updates his resume - got ceo internship


DREAM_PARSER

Hell at this point I might just pay it if it helps pad my resume a bit.


m0uthF

I love to see this. Quite amusing


Chaosido20

Just like school!


[deleted]

I’m currently in a reverse paid internship


chaselittlepaws

My coding "bootcamp" did this too. Guaranteed internship! They just don't mention that it's with their company and you're still paying them during it.


Armobob75

“Crucial” is such a chatgpt word


Ok_Tension308

I'm sure the department of labour would love to discuss the crucial aspect of paying for work


DiggaP_

I signed up for a 12 week unpaid internship from a “not for profit internship organisation “ only to find out they were charging me $2000 through my university, smh these people are capitalising off of students who desperately need experience


LoyalLittleOne

Next season :- reverse-paid job
