  4. Great job opening for a Software engineering Intern at Pinterest, just wanted to remind everyone to update their CVs and LinkedIn profiles to maximize chances of getting noticed by employers. Thanks admin

  7. Excellent timing on this internship announcement. I’m graduating in Dec 2024, and my skillset aligns perfectly with the listed requirements. Fingers crossed for all of us aspiring interns!

  8. Experience with Python, Java, and JavaScript required for Pinterest’s software engineering internship. Anyone willing to practice mock interviews with me before submitting my application?

  9. Really impressed by Pinterest’s emphasis on computer science fundamentals in their selection criteria. Glad to see they acknowledge the significance of solid basics in programming.

  10. Can anyone confirm if Pinterest covers tuition fees for their software engineering interns? Not expecting them to, but it’d be nice to offset educational costs while gaining practical experience!

  12. Wow, this internship opportunity seems fantastic! Working with Pinterest sounds thrilling. I’m about to complete my computer science degree, and I have a solid grasp on algorithms and data structures. Although the independent work aspect might be a bit intimidating, Can anyone provide some insight on the types of projects interns usually handle at Pinterest?

  13. Man, I interned at Pinterest last summer, and it was amazing! I worked on improving the image search algorithm, and it was so cool. The people there were awesome, really supportive and always willing to help. The hardest part was definitely managing my time, you have a lot of freedom but also a lot of responsibility. My advice would be, don’t be scared to ask for help when you need it! It’s always better to ask than to struggle on your own.

  14. This sounds cool, but having to oversee projects independently as an intern seems intense. I’m still shaky on some advanced algorithms myself. Maybe I should wait and apply next year after I’ve taken that Dynamic Programming course? That could help me feel more prepared and confident. What do you guys think?

  15. Hey, don’t be discouraged. Internships are all about learning and growing, and most companies do provide mentorship and support for interns. If you’re passionate about it and a fast learner, go for it! The experience you’ll gain will be invaluable, and it’ll help you in the long run. Just remember, everyone starts somewhere, and it’s okay to be nervous. Good luck!

  17. @Lily, Pinterest is still a major player, and their focus on creativity aligns well with current trends. Don’t discount the learning and growth opportunities this internship could offer.

  18. Look, it’s all about personal preference and what kind of tech you’re interested in. Pinterest might not be the most cutting-edge company out there, but they do have their own unique projects and challenges. It’s up to you to decide if that’s the kind of environment you want to learn and grow in. Don’t limit yourself to just one type of company – explore your options and see what suits you best

  19. Toronto is definitely an amazing city for young professionals! If you can score an internship there, it’s a win-win situation. You’ll gain valuable experience and have the opportunity to explore a new and exciting place. Don’t miss out on that opportunity if you can help it
