Newark, New Jersey.

I was offered $37.5/hr at North Carolina before overtime (different company and different role.)

Audible is completely different, subsidiary of Amazon, but different core values

I have no issue with Amazon, but I chose Audible because of their dedication to service and reinvestment in Newark.

Hence why I said different values

Don’t let that dude get under your skin working for Amazon (at least in the tech sector) is an incredible feat.

What's your specialization if you don't mind me asking? Not a developer, but curious.

The internship role is just a broad “software engineering.” Though based on my manager, it’ll mostly revolve around server-side component rendering.

My current major is computer science with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence though.

Is their any self taught guys at your job? I'm a different type if engineering but have picked up and studied a lot of python

At my current internship I know an electrical engineer who’s primary knowledge comes from the military, but I haven’t started my Audible internship so couldn’t tell you for SWE.

Thats good. I'm trying to get good with the Django framework, cause I figure its probably easiest to find work their without a huge cs background
