NASSAU is a reputable and growing company. I believe I will get hands on experience there. It’s the kind of place I want to work.
I think that this data intern Job at NASSAU is a rip-off, it the kind of job that will exploits the interns and takes advantage of their skills and labor. The job post requires the interns to have advanced skills and tools in data analysis and IT security, such as SQL, Python, and Tableau, and to perform various tasks, such as data collection, analysis, and documentation. However, the job post does not offer any benefits or perks for the interns, such as learning opportunities, mentorship, or career advancement. The job also does not specify the duration or the location of the internship, which could mean that the interns will have to work long hours or relocate to a different place. The job only offers a compensation of $23 per hour, which is way below the market rate for data analysts and IT security. This job post is a clear example of how the financial services industry exploits and underpays its workers, especially the young and inexperienced ones. I would not recommend anyone to apply for this internship, as it is a waste of time and money.
I beg to differ. I think you are exaggerating here. The internship offers a chance to work with a reputable and growing financial services company, providing valuable experience in data analysis and IT security, that is a hands on experience.
The job requires interns to have advanced skills in relevant areas which you mentioned, that indicates a commitment to providing meaningful work and learning opportunities for the interns.
The company’s culture and mission statement are presented, showcasing its innovative approach and employee value.While the job post does not explicitly mention benefits like learning opportunities, mentorship, or career advancement, these are generally expected in internships and can be inferred from the context.
The compensation offered is fair for data analyst internships, making it a competitive offer. The last I checked, glassdoor pegged the average compensation for data analyst intern at $22-$24.
The duration and location of the internship are flexible, accommodating the preferences of both the interns and the company.
If you are not interested in the job, leave it. Don’t distract others.
You claim $23/hour is fair for data analyst interns based on Glassdoor benchmark. However, you fail to note that this average factors majorly internships at small companies or nontech roles. For an internship at a financial firm requiring advanced technical skills, $23/hour is low and a no no for me, especially with no stated benefits.
I want to agree with @GuyNextDoor. The job requires high skill. It’s challenging and competitive. It’s beneficial and offers the interns valuable experience. All these are stating the obvious.
The job is valuable.
