Interns would consider remote work for their future jobs, but want to experience the office first
All five of the students we talked to who completed remote software engineering internships this year expressed an openness to continuing remote or hybrid work in the future, noting the eliminated commuting time. Having never worked in an office however, they all of them want to have that in-person experience for comparison.
The five interns agreed that remote work was a big improvement over virtual high school.
They got a preview of the autonomy and increased responsibility that they would experience at work. Three students, however, noted big differences in the format. With short interactive meetings and instant answers to their questions by sending messages to their teammates, remote work offered the connectedness that their first virtual high school experiences lacked.
