Early internships open doors to international tech roles for Thai computer science students
A recent interview with a Google software engineer highlights how starting internships early can pave the way to full-time roles at global tech firms. The engineer, who earned a full-time offer after two summers with Google, notes that first- and second-year programs are often designed for beginners and can be more accessible in today’s competitive tech job market.
For many Thai students, opportunities at multinational tech companies may feel distant, especially as the job market tightens and AI reshapes some coding roles. Yet the engineer’s experience shows that early internship participation can significantly boost prospects. These programs often evaluate foundational knowledge and problem-solving ability rather than advanced coding talent, with references to widely used practice platforms such as LeetCode.
