インターンが始まって一週間が立ちました。軽い近況報告でも。僕のインターン先では、セキュリティ上の問題から残業があまり推奨されていないみたいで、インターン生の残業は厳禁だそうです。研修内容がR&Dだということが関係しているのかもしれませんが、実際、セキュリティ関係は結構きついです。嬉しいことは、残業が無いおかげで週末の予備校に向けた課題には、割と余裕を持って取り組めているってことですかね。
そうそう、僕が思うR&Dの最もよいところは、Cool Bizという名の私服出勤です。「あれ…？ Cool・・・ Biz…?」的な服装が最高ですw。Googleでは、開発系社員の私服出勤を既に公言していますが、やはり研究開発系の職はスーツで出勤する必要性があまり無いみたいですね。いやぁホント、最高の環境ですw。一応僕はインターン生なんで、インターンシップ中にあまりでしゃばった真似をするつもりはありませんが、将来の職種の候補としてR&D系も良いかなぁと思いました。
おわり
P.S. 予備校もインターンシップも著作権やら秘密保持契約やらの関係で、あまり立ち入った内容がしゃべれないのがもどかしい今日この頃。
P.S.のP.S.
や…やっと覚えられた。。。orz
明日は満点取ってきてヤンぜ！
