The first step after my application was an at-home-task, without having introduced myself to anyone at the company personally. for an intern position it was also ridiculously hard: make a video streaming platform, where a user can watch videos and leave comments and gets recommended other videos on the video page. in 4 hours. oh it should also have authentication. i had a lot of time on my hands and wanted to build something like this anyway, so i did. in about 3 days. the next step was a call where we briefly spoke about my task a bit and then got offered a ca. 400€ per month contract with weekly feedback rounds.
