The hard work pays off. After three months of coding, the last of which consisted of building a new Rails app every day, I landed an internship with Bunker Labs, my number one choice. They work with Ruby on Rails and Angular, a JavaScript framework similar to Ember. I have a week to prepare for my new role. Very exciting!
As for the internship selection process, it was pretty seamless. Students selected their top choices from descriptions provided by a diverse list of companies. We were then matched with a few companies, and had interviews the following week. Most students interviewed with 3-4 companies.
Last Thursday our internships were announced. Turns out that I wasn't the only one who landed my number one choice! The room was filled with both joy and relief. It didn't hurt that it was a beautiful day, either. A large group of us enjoyed lunch on the river, just minutes after our internships were announced.
A big thanks to Epicodus for putting this all together. Sure, the students displayed their skills for the employers during interviews, but if it wasn't for Michael, Dustin, Mac and Alex, we wouldn't have had those interviews in the first place!
