<p>responding to the title. I’m an undergrad in the engineering and science field.</p>
<p>I am always told the common mentality, “The early bird catches the worm”, but I think hunting for a summer job at this time is quite limiting. Why? Few companies that I’ve looked at (engineering) are hiring summer interns or even co-ops in September. More companies and more internship positions (for summer) open for application from Jan to April. If you applied for an internship now and got offered one, normally you have to tell them yes/no within a week. Therefore, your summer might be nice and set, but you miss out on better opportunities at companies that you might prefer working at (that start hiring interns in Jan-ish). Thoughts on this?</p>
