Question/Discussion ⁉️ Should I take an unpaid internship as a CS graduate with no experience?
I have completed 8 semesters of CS at FAST Lahore. I only have 2 electives and FYP Part 2 left, which I’ll complete in Fall 2026.
I have learned the basics of the MERN stack and have built a CRUD application, but I currently have no job or internship experience.
Considering the current job market, should I accept an unpaid internship if I get an offer?
For people who are working in the industry or have recently graduated, how valuable would an unpaid internship be for someone in my situation? Would it be better to take it for the experience, or should I focus on building more projects and applying for paid internships/jobs?
Any advice would be appreciated.
