More people would benefit if anyone could pay to get an internship where they like. I really mean the intern paying to get an internship, just like they pay for college. https://twitter.com/prajyotm/status/1287224750633152512

We have 5 intern right now we turn down a lot of them because we don't have enough management bandwidth.

Students who come for internship with 2months in hand are mostly useless in Technology. Before you know it they are gone.

Internship at the right place under a good manager is so valuable for your career, one would be foolish to turn it down for money.

We recently rejected an intern application because his expectation was 40k/month. A 5th sem college engineering student.
We later took him on the condition that we decide the stipend after 1month and it will not be more than 15k.
