Ask HN: My boss is quitting. Any advice for an intern?

1 points by internadvice ↗ HN
This is my first software engineering internship, which I found through my school. I've been here for 6 months. I'm suppose to be here for a year.

The company is sub 100 people, with a engineering team of around 30 people based in Toronto. During that time 2 Senior Engineers and an Engineering manager have left (other people on other teams have left as well I just didn't keep track). Today, my boss told me he was resigning and switching jobs as well. From what I've read on HN and else where this turn-over rate is the norm for the industry, but I can't help but feel uneasy. I don't think the company is in any financial risk (it's been in-business for 10+ years) but then again I'm just an intern. Recently, the CEO announced that we wouldn't be getting an highly anticipated contract. These all seem like red-flags to me.

I don't know what to do. Should I start looking for a job or tough it out for another 6 months? I just feel lost in general.
