Alright, I need some advice from professional tech guys.
I'm interviewing for an internship this summer (Compsci Major, no previous professional tech experience) for a company that would have me straight up sitting at a computer and being a code bitch. I ACED the first interview, and did pretty damn well on the second. Now they've sent me an assignment that I have to turn in, and their judgement of this project is the final round. (The assignment is in Scala. Fuck.)
Here's the rub. The assignment is definitely at a required skill level that gives me a pretty good notion that I am sure as shit not qualified for the job. So what do you suggest tech guys? How bad could this fuck me if I go in to work and I suck?
(Also, this is my first time on /g/, so sorry if I have broken one of those unwritten rules that all boards seem to have.)
what are you even asking? just learn scala. worst situation is you get the job and you leave because you are obviously incompetent. best situation is you get paid to learn on the job.
just fucking do it
I am sure they picked Scala is no one learns it at uni
They are testing how fast you can get competent with it

That's actually exactly why. I guess I'm just nervous about the whole thing in general and wanted to get some feedback on the situation from some people more experienced than myself.

Do it. Why are you scared?
>>54391736
Just do it, faggot.
My first job out of college "required" 5 years of experience and a Master's. You'll learn the job on the job.

Many interns fail to deliver anything useful. They probably aren't expecting much of you, and will give you easier projects. This is for you to get a feel for working in your field. But, you also need to man up and study study study.
