Summer Entrepreneurial Experiences

WeWork Update #8

Thursday, August 17, 2017 7:24 pm

Sadly, my time at WeWork has come to a close. I feel like no reflection or blog post can justly put into words has great my summer has been. Every expectation I had coming into this summer has been exceeded. I’ve made so many new friends from work, and found many mentors along the way. Throughout my last two weeks at the company I tried to sit down with as many people as possible and pick their brains, hear about their experience, and learn why they chose to work at a startup like WeWork. I definitely feel like the startup atmosphere is where I want to be when I pursue a job full time next year.

On that note, at the end of my internship I received some really great news from my manager and his boss. They pulled me into a conference room for a meeting and were very complimentary of all the effort I put in this summer. They told me I was the only intern out of a class of 75+ that was asked to stay longer, and they’d like for me to keep working from school if possible (An offer I accepted immediately)! After that, they extended a full-time job offer to me for work after graduation! My entire summer was made after hearing those words. They couldn’t provide any specifics as to what my position would be, due to the ever-changing, rapid growth, nature of the company – but they assured me that they would have a spot for me regardless.

I could not have asked for a better end to the summer. I worked overtime nearly every week, and enjoyed every minute of it. I learned more than I could ever imagine, made some lifelong friends, and walked away with a job. I hope you all can tell through my posts how incredible this summer has been for me, and I’m glad I got to reflect and share it all with you along the way on here. I look forward to providing a more detailed explanation of my experience during the presentations at school in a few short weeks!
