Everything about this comment is great. Except the &quot;volunteer to work for free&quot; part which is absolutely horrible advice.<p>Part of &quot;walking in the door knowing what you want... and owning it&quot; includes understanding your worth to the company.<p>A company must also recognize your worth UP FRONT. Unpaid internships vary from corrupt to demoralizing. At best they set the wrong tone. Don&#x27;t fall into that trap.
