Internship

Question

Hello allSo recently I had the opportunity to interview for a internship position with Dojo autopilot team at Tesla. And I have been told that I got selected for the position via email. But then layoffs started and I didn’t receive my official offer letter.I spoke to the recruiter and she said that she should have something by next week. I also have other opportunities but they are only for summer but this tesla internship is for summer and fall.I am really confused on what I should be doing since I cannot let the other companies wait too long. I really want to work at Tesla since it will help my career a lot. It would be really helpful if anyone could provide me with any insights regarding this situation I am in right now.  Since I can't keep the other companies waiting for too long.Thank youChaitanya.

I’m not a big fan of it, and I’m sure you’ve though about it, but what about accepting one of the offers that you already have and just waiting to see what happens with Tesla?

Let’s say you accept a previous offer, and then next week Tesla sends you their offer letter. It wouldn’t be great to retract from the first company, but it is definitely an option. Remember, the companies aren’t loyal to you. Again, not personally a fan, but that’s what I would do in your situation. Take care of yourself, this market is shit.

Tesla seems risky at the moment - let's say you get the internship but there's another layoff one month in and you get swept up in it. Then what?

And yes, from experience, layoffs can absolutely impact interns, except you aren't guaranteed the same severance as everyone else.

What're your deadlines for the other offers? Does your Tesla recruiter know that you have other pending offers too?
