Looking for some advice, especially from engineering managers or people who have worked at larger tech companies.
I’m currently a software engineering intern at a large company. I started on an 8 month internship in January and was recently extended through December based on performance, so by the end of the year I’ll have been with the same team for 12 months.
Over the past year I’ve delivered multiple production tickets, become pretty independent in the codebase, and have received consistently positive feedback from my manager and mentor.
The situation I’m trying to figure out is what happens after December.
I have one semester left of university after that (3-4 courses) and was hoping to finish school part-time while continuing to work. The issue is that I’ll likely need to relocate back home because of a family health situation, so staying where I am currently isn’t really an option.
What’s interesting is that my team is already completely distributed. None of my direct teammates are in my office and all collaboration happens remotely through Slack, Teams, calls, etc. The company, however, has a fairly strict in-office policy for interns.
A few months ago my manager told me that continuing remotely wasn’t guaranteed and that we’d revisit the conversation around September.
From my understanding, the team has dedicated intern headcount, so if I leave, they’ll likely bring in another intern after I’m gone.
I’m curious how people with management experience would view this situation.
Does having already spent a year training someone and getting them productive usually carry meaningful weight when discussing extensions or alternative arrangements?
How much flexibility do managers at larger companies realistically have when HR policies and headcount rules get involved?
And based on what I’ve described, what outcome would you expect is most likely?
I’m planning to keep focusing on performance between now and September, but I’m trying to get a realistic sense of how situations like this tend to play out in practice.

havent played zombies since bo3, these augments and field upgrades take a while to fully research, whats the fastest way? any suggestions?

have a short 30 minute interview coming up. if i stay on the free plan will it show me partial answers and blur the other half? or is that not a thing anymore? im asking coz they removed undetectability from free/pro plan. im on the free plan and just need it for one interview so i'd rather not spend extra for the pro. as long as it doesnt blur half the answer im fine with it. if it does, are there any free alternatives?

Just wrapped up my first starter assessment for the programming track. I wanted to check in and see what the current landscape looks like for developers. For context on my background:

• I'm a CS undergrad with a couple of solid software engineering co-ops/internships under my belt, one at a major bank doing backend/automation scripting and another at a Big Tech company working on large scale infrastructure and tooling.

I know the overall platform acceptance rate gets quoted at a brutal 2-3%, but does anyone know how that math shifts specifically for programmers? Is it an absolute grading standard (i.e., if your code works, doesn't rush, and your explanations make sense, you're in), or are they heavily bottlenecking candidate volume right now?

For those of you currently working the $50+/hr coding queues: How long did it take for your dashboard to activate after the test?

it's called evolve grooming, and it's at:

811 Hornby St, Vancouver, BC V6Z 3B7

was wondering if they have good enough barbers/hair stylists for mens' scissor cuts. i don't usually get fades so wanted to ask if any of you guys went here/go regularly to get scissor cuts, if so how are they?

i've just had one interview out of my 4 applications. others didnt respond. what about you guys?

hey guys, recently got accepted into the levelup program. i just have some general questions that i wanted to clear up if you guys know the answers. how many people take part in a cohort? there's about 300 projects, and each person can apply to 4 at a time. for tech (software/data/ai/ml) related projects, is there any interview after applying before you can get accepted? if so, is it technical/live coding? or more of a chat with the recruiter to get familiar with your tech stack and whether you'll be a good fit. how long do recruiters take to reply to your applications? what happens if you dont get accepted into any projects you applied to?
