Where can a CS student find internships for startup companies?
I am master student in computer science. I will graduate in May. It's been exhausting for me trying to get a software engineer job. I think it will be easier to just start with an internship.
Is there a place that list startup internships?

You'll probably have better luck asking on programmers.stackexchange.com – Michael Pryor 14 years ago

I mentor a couple of undergraduates. Beware of the fly-by-night start-up companies looking for (under)graduate students interns for free or inexpensive labor. Do thorough homework on any start-up you're looking to intern with and ask exactly what you'll be doing.
Especially be cautious of any internship program where the owner(s) will ask interns to sign a non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreement.
What city are you located in? Our company has posted internships in Boston recently on the sites below. If you're located in Boston, send me a message.
- Internships.com
- SimplyHired.com
- Go to programmer meetups
- Reach out to startups in your area
- Find a product you like and offer to help
- Start hacking for fun on Open Source projects (Wordpress, Drupal, etc) to build your resume and gain exposure And I agree with Michael, you should post this on programmers.stackexchange.com
