So a company is looking for a web developer intern with minimum 3 years of job experience! What kind of intern that would be!

super intern

@On-xTone but doesn't that defeat the purpose of job description, if ads are written in a way to see who is motivated enough to not actually read them..?

I thought that Dec job offers should be as informative as it gets, as we are a special kind of people you know requirements, analysis and ability to make informed decision based on the information we get...

that's the same as saying "PMs bitch around and give impossible deadlines to stimulate productivity and filter the productive developers"

this springs to mind:

also @dfox, why cant we embed images in comments? :-(

@On-xTone this is true. I have no formal education, but was head hunted and given a job offer for a job where the job description said minimum bachelors degree.

@On-xTone yeah, it is. The job I hold now I got 5 years ago. Prior to that I worked as general store manager. I got bored and applied for two IT jobs, and got offered both! Just gotta habe faith in yourself, and apply even if it seems / feels out of reach.

They mean intern in the "I want a full dev for quarter the price" sense.

@rkzo that's exactly what I was thinking. "We want your skills, but we don't really want to pay you for them."

Before I get my first job I had no experience in other company, no degree, nothing but my skills. since then I had a lot of interviews in all of them I was unqualified based on the ad but in half of them they want to have me. (ofc I did sign in all of them, but I had the option to choose)

ME, i had 2 years of experience, but then I studied masters, which required me to do a 6 month fucking internship...
The company wouldn't have accepted me if i didn't have the experience.
I worked on the same shit i worked on before, AS A FUCKING INTERN.

It's a ridiculous expectation, but some of these internships for big companies are no joke. As I recall, Oracle pays their SE interns something crazy, like $35/hour. We pay our SE interns about $18/hour, but don't ask for as much experience as Amazon or Oracle might, although the internships are competitive and selective
