Choosing the right internship when you are still exploring

Use this simple decision system to test a career direction without locking yourself into it.

You do not need perfect clarity before starting an internship. You need a useful hypothesis about the kind of problems you enjoy solving.

Compare opportunities across the work you will practice, the feedback you will receive, and the artifact you will finish with.

Treat your first internship as a structured experiment and record what energized you and what you would rather avoid.
