[In both law and accounting, paid internships for the summer are very commonly referred to as a “job”. ]
I don’t know about law, but I’ve never heard of internships in financial firms being unpaid. And that goes double for a student at a first-tier school like Harvard.
Right. That's why I think it's a bit picky to accuse her of lying because she called it a "job.". She'll work, she'll get paid...that's a job. But the real value is in getting the shot at the permanent offer, which she missed out on. Notsure the percentage of paid Harvard interns Deloitte hires, but I imagine it's pretty high.
So yeah...it's a very well-deserved bummer for herm.
