A Day In The Life Of A Tech Intern: What To Expect by SideHustle: 9:55am On Mar 22, 2023
As technology continues to shape and impact our daily lives, the demand for skilled tech professionals has continued to rise. This has led to an increase in tech internships, providing aspiring tech professionals the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field.

If you're interested in pursuing a tech internship, you may be wondering what a typical day in the life of a tech intern looks like. While every internship experience is unique, here's a general idea of what you can expect.

8:00 AM - Arrive at the Office
Many tech internships are based in office environments, so your day may start with arriving at the office. Some companies may allow you to work remotely, but this can vary based on the internship program.

8:30 AM - Morning Meeting
Many tech companies start their day with a morning meeting where everyone on the team gathers to discuss their tasks for the day, any ongoing projects, and updates on progress. As a tech intern, you may be expected to attend and contribute to these meetings.

9:00 AM - Project Work
After the morning meeting, you'll likely begin working on your assigned projects. This can include programming, testing, and debugging software, troubleshooting technical issues, and working collaboratively with other members of the team.

12:00 PM - Lunch Break
Lunch breaks are an important time to recharge and refocus for the afternoon. Many tech companies offer a variety of amenities, such as on-site cafes, gyms, or outdoor spaces for employees to enjoy during their breaks.

1:00 PM - Continued Project Work
After lunch, you'll likely return to working on your assigned projects. This can include meeting with team members to discuss progress, working collaboratively on projects, and communicating with clients or stakeholders.

4:00 PM - Wrap-Up
As the end of the workday approaches, you'll begin wrapping up your work for the day. This may include documenting your progress, updating project boards or databases, and communicating with your supervisor about any outstanding tasks.

5:00 PM - Departure
Many tech companies have flexible schedules, so you may be able to leave the office earlier or later depending on your schedule and the needs of the company.

While this is just a general idea of what a day in the life of a tech intern looks like, it's important to remember that every internship experience is unique. Some tech companies may require longer hours or have more structured schedules, while others may offer more flexibility in terms of work hours and location.

Overall, a tech internship provides a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the tech industry, build professional relationships, and learn new skills. If you're interested in pursuing a tech internship, be sure to research different programs and companies to find the right fit for you.

Job that sounds like fun.

Some people may wonder what do tech interns do actually?
Here we go,
Tech interns help with web and application development, bug inspection and removal, software troubleshooting, software updates, and other assigned tasks.
Companies vary, and in some, you will also help solve tech issues faced by other employees

In my own case, after recruitment, it was straight to the field. You live with the team, go out to fix tech issues (maintenance/troubleshooting) and return to your lodge. Sometimes you spend the night outside in the cold. Telecomm is not for the fainthearts. It's a lovely experience though.
