This is a deck I put together to share with our awesome MarketMeSuite interns halfway through their internship. I thought it was important to check in and have them do a “gut check” about startup life and whether they think it could be for them in the long term. They liked it so much they encouraged me to share it with the world!
Key Take-Aways:
- All internships aren’t created equal (I explain my experience back in my intern days).
- Startup life isn’t for everyone, but the rewards can be amazing.
- You need to do a gut check: interning is a great way to test the waters, but ultimately, do you want to work in a startup post-graduation?
