Life as an Intern at Google, New York

When I say, time flies, I really mean it. 12 weeks at Google, New York have been amazing. Every day has a few new stories. And now I have hundreds of stories to tell. But I certainly cannot do that in one post. But I can share my overall experience.

Life at Google is one thing, and life at Google, New York is another. You get the best of life packed in one summer. It’s Google inside and New York City outside.

I’m from New Delhi, India and Google took care of everything from Visa to relocation. But interns had to find own places to live and I got to live in 3 different place in 12 weeks. Okay, not something I planned, but I experienced more of the city this way to be honest.

I was one of the UX design interns. But generally only 0.02% applicants get selected. It sure felt exclusive.

Inspired by Andre’s amazing article on A Day in the Life of a Google UX Design Intern, I wanted to share how it’s like to be an intern at Google, NY. The purpose of this post is to give you some insights about life in New York for the summer if you’re considering doing a tech internship and wondering if would be the right choice.

I’m going to try and illustrate my experience with pictures. All of them have a story behind, you can try to interpret. Or maybe I can share it with you personally someday.

Within Google and outside Google.
