Hey /g/. How can I get the most out of my internship? I want to ask my supervisor if I can do things independently to help the company, so that I can come away with a lot of stuff to add on my resume. Plus, it's the kind of company where a good recommendation will go a long way in the sector.

Some info:
>small finance / data company
>mainly using Python
>been here for two weeks, the first week mainly being acquainted with their technology

Don't be a fucking busybody.

You're an intern. Do your work. Do not go looking for work.

Do not do extra work unless you can get paid a bonus for it.
If they want you to do the same job their full-time employees do, make sure you get paid the same as them.

you be a normie and bee yourself and make other people like you. which probably involves doing your work but really that's needed only in so far as is necessary to make them like you. once they like you, they hire you, serve as references for other jobs, etc.

its all nepotism and back-scratching in management and HR, nobody there gives a shit what you know or if you actually do good work.

Well

I would usually agree with you, but I wasn't qualified for this internship to begin with, and the task that has taken me two weeks to complete is a binary parser (simple in retrospect, but the data being put into binary was pretty difficult to understand). The supervisor said my internship is "one to three months", which I've taken to mean "three months if you do shit well". I'm not going for a degree in software development, so I want to use this experience and other experiences as a way for employers to gauge my skill and work ethic. In other words -- I'm thankful for this opportunity and want to continue it, not only the internship but software dev in general, and so I want to really sweat for the next hopefully two months.
