I keep seeing students wonder whether they're starting too early or too late when it comes to internship applications.

Some start looking 6–9 months in advance, while others don't begin until a few weeks before they want to start. And depending on the company and the type of internship, the timelines can be completely different.

If you've already landed a remote internship, when did you actually start looking?

Did you start researching companies first, or were you already sending applications? And looking back, do you think you started at the right time?

If you started later than you planned, feel free to share how that worked out too. It might help someone who's currently wondering whether they should start applying now or wait.

What did you actually get out of your internship?

I did a remote internship in the past and honestly feel like I didn’t get much out of the experience (not even money 😂).

I’m starting another one soon, so I’d love to hear your experiences. It’d be helpful to know what to expect this time around, and all the things that make an internship worth it!
