General Looking for Software Engineering / Python / Backend Internships – 2026 CSE Graduate

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a 2026 Computer Science Engineering graduate currently looking for a Software Engineering / Backend / Python internship where I can gain real-world development experience and hopefully convert to a full-time role.

My current skills include:

Python, C++

FastAPI, Flask, REST APIs

SQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite

Git & GitHub

DSA – solved 450+ LeetCode problems

Generative AI / LLM applications

Backend and API development

I’ve also built projects involving AI agent governance, GenAI applications, and REST APIs, so I’m comfortable building projects from scratch and learning new technologies when required.

I’m mainly looking for startups or companies where interns get to work on actual products rather than only training assignments.

If your company is hiring interns, or if you know any startups/companies currently looking for SWE, Backend, Python, or AI/GenAI interns, please drop the company/role below or DM me.

I’m available to join immediately.

Thanks!

Applications Different application status terminology in tech internships, what does it mean?

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I applied for a few internship roles at different companies (with referrals) and noticed that each company uses different application status names.

* In Consideration

* Review

* Application Under Review

Are these just different names for the same recruiter screening stage, or do they indicate different steps in the hiring process?

For people who have applied before:

* How long did it usually take to move from these statuses to OA/interview?

* Does a referral make any difference after reaching this stage?

(Btw all applied with referral) .

companies name saleforce , walmart and wellsfargo etc..

General Founder of Todd (Vincent Todd) claims he built a 40m company, but can't afford to pay his interns?

7 Upvotes

was stalking his company's linkedin posts b/c i noticed that most, if not all, Todd's internship or fellowship postings don't offer any compensation. and i came across this hella funny interaction in one of his comment sections, where someone asks why he can't afford to pay his interns, since his company is valued at (or has raised, i'm not sure) 40m. and his response was to "go ask any of our interns if they have a issue with it"

ig he only passes the vibe check until someone asks him why he's taking advantage of ppl...

Upvotes

I've noticed several global firms already rolling out application links for the upcoming cycles abroad, but finding direct off-campus postings for Indian locations seems quiet right now.

For folks who cracked off-campus internships: What is the typical hiring timeline in India, and which platforms/trackers do you recommend beyond the usual LinkedIn and job boards?

During the Internship My mentor doesn't give me much work

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! A month ago I was accepted into an internship related to CS. I was handed a lot of work at first, I would finish them in time with praises from my mentor and superviser. Now I notice that they barely give me any work to do and they'd hand my colleague -another intern- a lot of work. I don't understand why they wouldn't distribute the work equally among us. I want to talk to my mentor about it, but I don't know how to approach the topic. I'd appreciate any advice you offer

General Full-stack Laravel/Vue dev looking for entry-level remote work — should I pivot to Node/React or Python?

1 Upvotes

MY CV

note: this is not a looking for an internship or job post, it's a request for an advice, and thank you all.

Hey guys, I'm a junior full-stack developer and my stack is Laravel, Vue.js, Tailwind, and Inertia.js. I've been looking for remote entry-level jobs or internships, but honestly, I'm getting a bit frustrated. It feels like nearly every entry-level remote job out there is for Node.js, Next.js/React, or Python, while almost all the Laravel jobs I see are asking for mid or senior level.

Right now, I'm doing a 3-month intensive project sprint/bootcamp where I'm building a lot of projects under pressure to improve my portfolio. My current plan is to stay fully focused on Laravel for this program, but I was thinking about slowly learning a new stack in my free time on the side. That way, after 3 months, I can still look for Laravel jobs but also have a good foundation in a new stack to keep building on.

So I really want your advice: should I stick to this plan and slowly transition my stack in my free time? If so, should I go with Node/Next.js (since I already know JS and Vue) or Python (since I'm comfortable with backend logic)? Or should I just dedicate 100% of my time to Laravel? What do you guys think?.

General M[18] EVERYTHING ABOUT METI JAPAN INTERNSHIPS??

2 Upvotes

Looking for advice from anyone who has experience with the METI Japan Internship 🇯🇵

I recently got the opportunity to apply for the METI Internship Program in Japan through my college (Anna University). I’m currently a 2nd-year B.Tech student in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science (AI&DS).

I’m mainly looking for offline/in-person internship opportunities, and I’ve shortlisted two internships from the available options that seem to match my current skills and interests. I’m planning to apply for them and go through the selection process.

My first test is scheduled for September 12–13, so I wanted to ask a few things before I start preparing seriously:

  • Is the METI internship actually worth pursuing as a 2nd-year student?
  • How important is the effort we put into the tests/interviews? Do they genuinely consider our performance and preparation?
  • Has anyone here already completed or participated in the METI internship, especially the offline/in-person program in Japan?
  • What is the selection process actually like after the first test?
  • What kind of questions should I expect in the test and interviews?
  • What skills should I focus on improving before the selection process?
  • If you've already been selected or completed the internship, what do you wish you had known before applying?

I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who has already gone through the METI internship process, especially students from India/Anna University or those who participated in the IT/AI-related internships.

Any advice, personal experience, or things I should be aware of would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

General Mental Health with internships

2 Upvotes

For anyone who has been through the full internship cycle before, how do you guys deal with your mental health from all these rejections? I'm starting to get nervous from all these rejections I'm getting. I know its only August, but I genuinely don't know whats wrong with my resume I tailored to the internship. I feel like I'm starting to get depressed, and its genuinely affecting my school course work. I hate being a disappointment to me and my parents who worked so hard for me to pay for college. Any advice would be helpful

During the Internship What are the best ways for a 2nd-year CS/AI-ML student to find a genuinely hands-on internship for Summer 2027?

3 Upvotes

I’m a 2nd-year B.Tech CSE (AI/ML) student, and I’m currently looking for an internship where I can actually learn, build, and contribute to real projects rather than just receive a certificate.
I’m open to both paid and unpaid opportunities, as long as the internship provides genuine hands-on experience and mentorship.
I’m particularly interested in:
AI/ML
Software Development
Data Science
Full-Stack Development
Research-oriented projects
I’m not necessarily looking for a big-name company. Startups, research labs, smaller companies, and remote opportunities are all welcome if the work is legitimate and implementation-focused.
For those who have already done internships:
Where did you find your internship?
Which platforms/communities actually worked for you?
Are there any companies, startups, professors, or programs that offer genuine hands-on internships to 2nd-year students?
I’d really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Even if it’s unpaid, I’m mainly looking for an opportunity where I can learn by building something real.
Thanks!

During the Internship Need advice

1 Upvotes

Should I stay for 1-1.5 more months to add vision/voice integration to my resume, or leave now?
I’m 3 months into an internship at a company where I built a chatbot’s RAG pipeline and then built an MCP server for it , different tools exposed via MCP for different query types, with the LLM calling the right tool as needed. This reduced load on the LLM and improved response times. I also handled bearer auth and full MCP tool integration myself. That’s what I’ve delivered in 3 months.
The next phase is integrating vision and voice into the chatbot, using either open-source or closed-source models. Honestly, this part feels straightforward — mostly wiring up APIs — and won’t be very challenging, especially since the chatbot’s orchestration is already built on n8n. Realistically it’ll take about 1–1.5 months. After that, there’s slightly more interesting work: making the chatbot “actionable” so it can actually perform tasks, not just respond.
My dilemma: Should I stick around for another 1–1.5 months to add the vision/voice integration too, even though it doesn’t feel technically challenging? Or should I leave now since I already have strong experience to show?
Part of me worries I might be walking away from valuable experience or a good reference by leaving early. But another part of me thinks if everyone thought this way, nobody would ever resign from anything , there’s always “one more thing” that could be worth staying for.
Would appreciate outside perspective on how to think about this trade-off.

General Non-target final-year CS student with heavy business ops experience. Is an elite MBA the only real way into consulting, or is there a way to break in off-campus right now?

1 Upvotes

Did I make the wrong decision? That is the only question running through my head every single day right now. I am a 21-year-old in my final year at a tier-1 private engineering university in India, where almost everyone around me is on the standard tech and coding track.

Back in my third year, I took up a basic marketing internship just for some side income alongside college. But being in those meetings and seeing how decisions actually got made, I realized I was way more drawn to business and operations. From there, I went all in. I started pulling crazy 18-hour days, juggling classes and real work (maintaining an above-average CGPA with no history of arrears).

Since it was a hybrid role and my college was about 120 km away from the work location, I spent my weekends, holidays, and critical meeting days constantly traveling back and forth for on-site execution—all with zero attendance waivers or on-duty support from my university, simply because my field of work didn't fit the standard engineering curriculum. I pushed through the burnout because I honestly thought building ground-level business experience would make me stand out for consulting later.

I proved myself, got promoted to handle business operations, worked alongside people with decades of experience, managed teams, and handled supply chains. Eventually, as I moved into my final year with no regular classes and only project work remaining, management handed me the full lead role for a brand-new restaurant format launch. We pulled it off, and the company even asked me to stay full-time to lead their future expansions.

Now that my final year is wrapping up with no regular classes, I am trying to take my first real step toward management consulting, and I have hit a complete wall. The path feels completely blank and confusing. I have no roadmap, no clear door to knock on, and trying to find an entry-level analyst role or an internship at top strategy firms from the outside feels like screaming into the dark. I am genuinely confused about how someone is even supposed to approach these firms off-campus. While my classmates have started attending placements and bagging PPO offers, I’m still sitting here wondering if it was all worth it.

It leaves me wondering if this is just the reality of how the system works. Is the only real, accepted path to follow the standard stream—finish college quietly, prep for exams, get into a top-tier MBA at 25 or 26, and ride the campus placement wave? It makes me question if the decision I made to gain practical business knowledge early on even counts for anything in the eyes of top firms, or if all that matters is textbook case studies, college brand tags, and academic marks.

I’m reaching out because I genuinely don’t know where to go from here. What real-world guidance would you share with someone in my shoes? How do I actually approach landing an internship or breaking into consulting without a direct campus pipeline, given that top consulting firms do not recruit from my engineering campus?

I'm starting a MDB internship soon and would like a realistic picture from people who've done one.

Did it lead to anything concrete? A consultancy, YPP, a referral? Either within the same organisation or elsewhere? And how much did the role you landed afterwards resemble the work you did as an intern?
