Its not easy for Desis to get good internships in US. The fight for Internships is fiercer than for Post MBA jobs..Many companies like to offer full time jobs than internships. The fight for internships thru campus recruitment can be crazy. So many less spots and so many people with good profiles..Especially the Desis with the similar experience in IT. The key is differentiation. It pays to differentiate by industry(Telecom, Insurance..) or function(Finance, Human resource..) than just say Technology...Many recruiters prefer past work-ex in the industry or domain as the internship period is at the max 2 months and there is no point in learning to do the things at that time..
Whatever, the fight will be fierce and we have to get ready for this fight even before coming to the school. We should get some introduction to the courses that we are going to take up..(Finance, Economics, Accounting..) especially the desi techies..Many recruiters prefer people with local knowledge so the fight for the rest of the spots is huge..We have to hit the ground running when we land in School..I have come across a great struggle for intership by the famous Simba, the Pagal Girl..Read her blog for more..
