Is it worth going to Yandex internship for the sake of combat experience?

Question

Career in IT

I have been studying the frontend for more than a year now, I have done several more or less complex projects (not to-do lists and covid-trackers). In general, I am very passionate about development, I try to thoroughly understand various aspects and details. I can write code.
But there is no "combat" experience. It is not possible to connect to any project purely for the sake of experience in my city, the town is small.
That's why I can't find a job. For several months now I have been responding to vacancies for the position of a junior, but the result is the same. Either they refuse or they don't respond at all. That is, it is not possible to enter the profession. In this regard, I thought about an internship at Yandex. I can live in a foreign city for a couple of months, there is a financial opportunity. The question is how good is this idea. Will this be useful, and will I be able to find a job after it (not even in Yandex itself). Who knows anything about the Yandex internship, please share your thoughts.

Answer 1

If there is no experience at all, almost any internship will be useful.
As for Yandex, don’t flatter yourself too much, an intern at Yandex === a strong junior in other companies.
Send applications to several more places and then put the question: "Where should I go?".

Answer 2

In the case of a beginner, it is worth going to ANY internship. Like you have a choice. Just don't stay there. And why are you so sure that you will still be taken there?

Answer 3

How do we rate your level? You are looking for a job, you did not leave a link to the github. Maybe it's too early for you to think about any internship? Or maybe vice versa? It is impossible to answer this question without a github.

Answer 4

Do you have a sea of ​​other suggestions on how to get experience? Are you called everywhere without experience?
The choice is always from the options that you have at the time of making the decision. What are your options? Here are the options to choose from.
So far it looks like, I'm so good, but they don't take me anywhere, and if I can go down to Yandex, I'm afraid there are not many prospects with this approach.
PS: For an internship at Yandex, it is an internship, and not courses, not everyone is taken, as well as for an internship in other promising and large companies.

Answer 5

Yes, it will be nice

Answer 6

no "combat" experience

That's why I can't find a job.

No connection at all. You either carry or you don't.

small town.

So go. Or look for a remote.
