Software Developer Intern

May - August 2019 • Iowa City, IA

What I liked

I liked the fact that it was a really unique internship that is unlike others: it was a remote internship, so I got to work wherever I wanted. I also learned a lot of skills and was exposed to a lot of new tools.

What I wish was different

I think the one drawback was that I didn't get to meet or talk to the other interns as much. Usually a internship is a place to network and meet new people, and I think because this was a remote job, I didn't get that chance.

Advice

It's very hard to get distracted in a remote job, but it's important to set up an environment where you can work effectively. It's different from an onsite job, because the environment is already set up to be a workplace, but for a remote job, it's crucial to find do put the effort to set up the environment for work.

Advice

It's not about having all these skills and knowing everything going into a job or an internship, it's about being open to learn and develop these skills. These experiences are made for you to grow as an individual and as a professional, so take advantage of them!
