Congrats on getting the internship. If you don't mind me asking, what's your education and age?

Wow, extremely impressive to get this many offers as a 2nd year. Maybe it’s different but in Engineering most people can’t get a single offer until their 3rd at minimum and often 4th because no company wants to invest in someone w/ that many years to go.

I know a few ppl in 2nd year working at Tesla & Apple for mechanical/electrical engineering jobs. Crazy! But yeah generally it seems to be considerably more difficult for non-software engineering.

Damn! That’s incredibly impressive as well. I’m in structural/civil engineering and 2nd year internships are for the exceptional candidates w/ connections only pretty much. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of a civil engineering internship for a 1st year.

The company I work for doesn’t even consider candidates below senior and that’s somewhat standard I think.

Ah yeah that would explain it. Civil's tough — it has one of the lowest rates of ppl successfully getting internships, compared to 13 other engineering programs at my university

It took me three years after graduating to get my job... And that required me to take a shitty warehouse job first and nag my manager for like four months to promote me into IT.
