[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS had a business internship last summer he was hoping to return to this summer. The company has been doing layoffs so we suspect the internship program may be cut but no official word yet. He has been applying for others as a backup but so far no luck.[/quote]

My DC too.  DC had a great internship last summer with a major tech company on the business side (had this confirmed by early December 2021 and DC got this internship on their own).  At the end of last summer, DC was offered another internship for this summer by same company, but recently had a conversation with their boss, who said there was a lot of chaos in the company right now and he advised DC to look elsewhere.  It wasn't really a direct rescinding of the offer, but a gentle push.  DC was very worried about the situation in tech right now, but luckily has another internship lined up at a start-up.  Full disclosure - nepotism connection got DC this new position.  DH is a tech entrepreneur and everyone he knows helps each other's kids get internships and jobs after graduation.  That's just the way it's done.

That said, this year is much harder for internships than last year.  [/quote]
