Critically analyze my situation as an intern in a networking company and help me figure out the next move .
So I landed an internship at a kinda big networking company with a 45k/month stipend (a little less i know , but this is the best I guess I could manage ). Before this, I had two confirmed full-time job offers:
· A startup for a Full Stack Dev role (7 LPA)
· A WITCH company with a secured job
I turned both down because I wanted to work at the relatively larger company . But here’s the catch – there’s no guaranteed full-time conversion after my internship, which puts me in a weird spot.
My Situation:
· Money is a priority – I want to make more rather than just play it safe.
· Tried paper t_rading – Realized it won’t make a big difference without a good amount of capital.
· Goal – I want to have 1-2L saved by the time my internship ends in 5 months. Right now, I can only save 5k/month after expenses, so I need other ways to hit that target. Furthermore in the last two months of my internship I would be grinding leetcode in the worst case.
Need Help With:
· Is having 1-2L in acc in 5 months even possible? If not, what’s a realistic way to get there?
· Should I start looking for another job NOW or wait to see if I get converted?
· Any solid side hustles or skills worth picking up that can boost my income?
Originally I was a MERN stack developer and my internship has nothing to do with full stack dev infact I am now afraid that the work or skill set i pickup here will be a dead end and not useful in the foreseeable future. So I am confused an have come up with the above goal.
Would love to hear thoughts from people who’ve been in a similar situation. Appreciate any advice!
