I’m a freshman in college and won the Amazon Future Engineer scholarship, which gives me a paid software development internship this summer at Amazon. I’m super excited but also nervous because I want to make the most of this opportunity.
Right now, I only know the basics of Python and JavaScript, and I’ve been practicing Leetcode (I can currently only solve easy problems). I’m trying to figure out what else I should focus on to prepare for the internship and make sure I perform well enough to either secure a return offer or get an internship at another FAANG next summer.
For context:
• I’m working on improving my Python skills and getting more comfortable with algorithms and OOP.
• I’m not sure if I’m overthinking things and should just chill or if I need to push harder to prepare.
For those who’ve interned at Amazon (or other companies):
- Aside from getting better at Python and Javascript, what else should I be focusing on to be a productive intern?
- Any tips for navigating the internship itself? Like working with your team and communication
- Is the stress worth it, or should I chill out?
I’d really appreciate any advice you have, whether it’s about preparation, interning at Amazon, or how to stand out during the internship. Thanks in advance!
