How is the experience working as a data scientist in the us like?
It’s competitive in the US for data science intern roles, there is a bottle-neck where not enough companies have been able to hire the experienced data scientists to properly use interns or entry-level data scientists. So naturally, when we’re all competing for the same role, a company will favor grad’s to undergrads in hiring. Further, the desire to hire grad-interns is connected to the desire to hire Ph.D.’s for mid-level to senior data science roles.
Thank you for the post. I will apply for this position

How did you find your work?
Through a recruiter in linkedin
What is the probability that one will land an intern job with any of the Forbes 500 tech companies?
From my experience most big tech firms (like facebook, microsoft) don’t hire undergrads since they tend to have more standardized hiring processes. That being said, many startups (quora, uber, asana) do hire undergrads for junior internships.
@Luke Griffins Nearly every company is searching for interns in this field. There is no final answer whether you can land a job or not with the big techs.. Just send your resume to as many companies as possible.
Yeah, that’s true
Airbnb is a company with potentials.
This internship looks interesting. I’ll check it out
