I actually got a job after completing the modules for https://www.workatastartup.com, the last module asks you to apply at ycombinator companies.

Would recommend to others. The tasks aren't very difficult, there are PDFs that hold your hand pretty well.

Also completed the JP Morgan Chase one recently for fun. Wonder what the law ones are like.

Wow we didn't even know this happened! That's great to hear!

If you ever do want to switch careers and trade code for contracts you should give it a go haha! If anything working on these programs gave me a better appreciation of the jobs and tasks of other careers.

What modules? No one reaches out to me via that site. Is it because I'm European?
Possibly because you're european, most companies are US based and would need a to apply for a visa right?

This is the actual virtual internship I did, which doesn't actually seem accessible from the workatastartup website: https://www.insidesherpa.com/virtual-internships/prototype/o...

There's are frontend, backend and analytics modules.
