these programs are cheat codes to the internships u want i did exploratory programs that allowed me to visit google, apple, and do microsoft’s explore internship which helped me return the following summer and help me decide what career path I actually want to do! not many people know that applying to these programs gives you suchhhh an advantage when it comes to applying to internships junior year because you 1. Already know the company 2. already networked with people at the company 3. Know what the recruiting process is like 4. And even connect with recruiters before anyone else these programs can genuinely change the trajectory of your career and life - they did for me! so I would 1000% recommend applying to these - even programs that don’t align exactly with what path you want to take, because the point is exploring different ones before narrowing in on one! follow for more internship sauce :) #internship
