Internship Max Planck Institute
Hey, I just want to get a quick sense of the situation. A week ago, I applied for a student job at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. They replied that I was too late for the position (they had already conducted the interviews), but that I could do an internship instead (full‑time, paid, 3 months) if I am interested.
The problem is that the timing of this internship is not ideal for me (although still possible).
So here is my question: Is this more of a very good offer that I should definitely take, or is an internship at an MPI something for which I am likely to get another chance?
Some context: I am studying physics, finishing my Bachelor’s degree this semester, and I am writing my thesis in a field related to the MPI group I would work with during the internship. I struggled a lot during my Bachelor’s, so I am very happy to finish it at all, and I am wondering whether it would be very stupid not to take the internship offer.
I would appreciate any advice :)
(Also: I am new to reddit: I hope this is the place for this kind of question. If there is a better subreddit for it, please let me know)
