Some points for future interns at DecisionStats-
- We normally dont pay interns anything
- 80 % interns drop out or are let go because they cannot keep up with the assignments
- Remaining 20% usually learn a lot in the intensive program
- Internships are like a free boot camp
- No more internships till June 2017 because I am trying to write a book
- Some research assistantships might be available in December 2016 to help with some code or Lyx formatting for the former
- See my LinkedIn profile for reviews given by the 20% interns who manage to stick around
- I usually emphasize writing, polyglot tools (both R, SAS and Python) , logical thinking and concise communication for my interns
- I usually treat them as students since I dont work for or in a university. That might change as I try and transition out from business to academic research options for a non Phd
