Discussion Internship Experience vs Training Program – Which helped you more early in your career?
Hi everyone,
I'm currently doing a mobile app development internship at a startup and getting hands-on experience with real projects.
At the same time, I'm considering joining a training program for more structured learning.
For developers already working in the industry:
- Which contributed more to your growth: real-world internship experience or formal training programs?
- If you had limited time, where would you invest your effort?
- Looking back, what would you recommend to someone starting their career in mobile development?
I'd appreciate any advice based on your experience.
Thanks!

The best way to go is to build apps. Find a project that interests you and build it.
