About internship / student roles
Internships are the cheapest way to test-drive a career. The best ones give you a real project to ship; the worst use you as cheap labor for busywork. In the interview, ask: "What did the last intern actually build / contribute, and where did they go after?"
Typical skills: Curiosity, willingness to ask questions, basic tooling for the role you're shadowing
Salary insights (US, rough)
Typical range for internship / student roles in the US is $25,000–$80,000/year, varying widely with seniority, company stage, and city.

How to prep for the interview
Intern interviews are usually shorter and more conversational than full-time loops, but the bar is real. Expect: a behavioral round ("Tell me about a project you're proud of from school or a side project"), a basic technical screen relevant to the role, and a "why us?" / "why this team?" round.
Smart things to do: look up what the team's been working on (blog posts, GitHub commits, press releases) and reference something specific. Ask: "What did the last intern actually build, and where did they go after?" — that question filters out internships that use you for busywork. Bring a portfolio or work sample even if not asked; it differentiates you fast.
Where this role typically leads
The point of an internship is to convert it into a full-time return offer or, failing that, a strong reference. Aim to ship one concrete project that has your name on it by the end of the internship. Document your work in writing — a 1-page summary of "what I built, what I learned, what I'd do differently" is invaluable both for your resume and for your manager's review process.
If a return offer isn't available, internships still count as professional experience for your next application. Treat the manager and 2-3 colleagues as long-term professional contacts — most career growth happens through people who already know your work.
Red flags to watch for
- Unpaid internship at a for-profit company. Usually illegal in the US unless the internship is genuinely educational and the intern doesn't displace paid workers. Read the DOL's guidance before accepting.
- "Coffee and copies" work disguised as a learning opportunity. Ask: "What did the last intern actually build, and where did they go after?" — vague answers are the warning.
- No mentor or structured onboarding. Without an assigned manager who has time for you, the internship becomes whatever you can make of it alone — high variance.
- Return-offer rate hidden. Companies proud of their conversion rate share the number. Companies that don't are usually under 30%.
