> A lot of companies don't even have pathways from internships to entry-level positions. They just let them finish their internship and say "good luck"
This is so crazy to me. IME if you break even on an intern, not including pay, you’re very lucky. In other words if the code or whatever you get out of an intern equals in value the amount of time your regular staff invests in the intern. In most cases it’s negative and you have to pay them on top of that—-plus events and so on.
If you aren’t using internships as a recruiting tool I have no idea why you’d bother.
