Comment on Ask HN: Ok to summer intern for a company with no intention of going full time?

Comments

Accepting an internship puts you under no obligation to take a full-time job with the company. By offering you an internship, they're making a clear statement that they're not making a long-term commitment to you, so you shouldn't think you need to make a long-term commitment to them. If they really wanted you to commit to a long-term position, they should be offering you a real entry-level job (at a real salary), not an internship.

In any case, there's no guarantee that you'd even be offered a job by this company at the end of your internship, so you should be looking for permanent jobs elsewhere anyway.
