Thanks for taking the time to advise me. It's good to know that having been the only dev on the team is a potential red flag; I'll make sure to de-emphasize that on my resume.

Based on searching Indeed/Whoishiring etc. the market for Haskell developers is fairly small, but London has relatively high demand for developers with Functional Programming experience (since Fintechs tend to like it). My main goal in learning Haskell is just to broaden my programming horizons, but I'm quite enjoying it thus far so FP is a career niche I might explore. With luck I'll be able to get some Node experience doing one of the projects my bosses are discussing as well.

I do have a Linkedin, but it's relatively basic so I'll make sure to update that and my resume before I'm in my final month. In the event that I reach the point where I've not much to learn from my team/projects here by the end of my first three months, is it still worth continuing the internship (assuming I get offered an extension) or is all the value in what I learn as opposed to being able to say I've 'worked' x months?
