There's an unpaid internship, 5 days a week and not paid 9-5. They won't budge on giving me transportation or food
Should I accept it or should I apply to seasonal work at retail stores for Christmas?
I live in NY btw. Graduated a year ago, struggled because no offers

I think he's saying, "Stop supporting unpaid internships, you fucking cuck."
What company is it anyway? Are they making tons of profit? Have you asked them if any previous interns still work for them? What will they teach you and how are they going to do it without you interrupting their work? Are you just going to be the coffee boy?
>>1616975
yes, fucking do it.
its a fucking fulltime position that is not an internship.
Once you work for a month, fucking sue them for illeglally hiring interns.
and internship is only legal if you're learning shit like in a class

Tech focused B2C platform
They're making enough for the 5 folks working there to take most of the money and interns getting Jack shit
None of the previous interns are working there anymore, except the engineer
Not coffee boy, I'll be responsible for "researching their markets and search for folks to cold call up and board on their system of partnerships"
Sounds bland but it's all I got offered.

You're getting used. Hard.

I'd rather be paid to do something I hate than not at all. Fuck that shit, go work at McDonalds.

> all i got offered
You need to apply other places then.

Just get a entry level position in manufacturing and work hard for a living

>thinking low skilled labor will get him anywhere.
I'd rather be unpaid and living with my parents if it means my job prospects are improved 10x.

Only do an unpaid internship if it's at a reputable firm.
If you do an unpaid internship at Joe's accounting firm, you have absolutely nothing to show for it at the end. However, an unpaid @ UBS or a large commerical real estate/law firm will be a huge boost to your resume.

I worked my way up and make 75k a year in manufacturing, started as a lowly assembly worker now I'm a project manager in the office, it all just depends on how hard you work and how long you've been there

>reputable firm
So like the others said, unpaid internships at startups like these in which they want to use me isn't a good idea, right?
>>1617261
Yes.
