Ask HN: Any Bay Area companies looking for HS interns in Summer 2018?

1 points by applecrazy ↗ HN
Hi. I'm a high school student that's looking for a summer internship to hone my CS skills. I am a quick learner and have been developing software on my own for about 4 years now.

While looking online, I could only find large companies looking for graduate-level interns. However, since this is Silicon Valley, I feel that there are a significant number of smaller companies that would be willing to mentor a high school student.

If you're interested, leave your email and the kind of person you're looking for down below or send me an email (it's in my profile).

Resume, detailed description of abilities, or recommendations available upon request.

If you are turning 18, why not try to get paid for your open-source work: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/

Most small companies have enough to worry about paying full-timers, let alone take on interns. If you are very ambitious, you can try becoming a contract developer (other people here are better-equipped to talk about that in detail).

How would an underage contract developer get contracts in the first place? Most SV companies are very exclusive about who they hire.
