Best decision you can make in college.

I heavily recommend this experience for anyone who is considering going abroad. This was genuinely the best decision I have made since I got to college. It completely changed my perspective of what living in Southeast Asia entails. With Singapore being such a large global city I was expecting it to feel like New York City, but it was much different. It was a lot slower paced and more organized than I was expecting. I also had an amazing time with my company, I did meaningful work and really enjoyed the culture that they have. My boss has offered to reach out to other teams in other locations across the globe if I want to work for the company again. The relationships I made were definitely the best part of the program, and the weekend trips really helped with this. In the end I was sadder to leave Singapore more than I was excited to get back to the United States. I would highly recommend this for anyone considering it.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice is to say yes. There were many times during my internship and other activities where I had to push myself out of my comfort zone, and in the end I realized it wasn’t really that bad. Also, the spontaneous moments you have with your friends end up being more memorable than anything you plan in advance, so sometimes you just have to go with the flow and say yes.

Singapore Internship Review

Singapore with Absolute Internship was a truly life-changing experience. The housing was incredible—fantastic building and amenities all on top of a mall! The convenience was unbelievable, and it was possible to get to most places in Singapore from the residence without stepping outside. The internship itself was so rewarding and developmental. My company balanced my work so well, ensuring I got all the relevant experience I could want while giving me plenty of time to explore Singapore. Absolute's team's communication was fantastic as well. At one point, I felt underutilized at my internship, so I reached out to see what I could do. Within a week, they had communicated with my bosses, and I was getting put onto more tasks, more leadership in my internship, and everything was incredibly useful and fruitful after that. The helpfulness of the staff, the facilities and resources Absolute offered, not to mention the amazing weekend trips and the experience of my internship, made me 100% confident that my decision was right—that Absolute Internship is truly the best abroad internship program out there.

Highs and Lows

Got placed at a horrible company at first but within a week was placed at a different company after telling the program coordinator what was going on. Extremely professional and understanding staff! The weekend trips and other events organised with the other interns are all extremely helpful in getting comfortable in your program location and it’s super easy to make friends! Definitely a good cv boost as an added bonus! I would recommend finding an internship by yourself as you can get compensated and witha couple years of university experience it should be very doable to find something, if you are a first year student or want to put in less effort this program is a great help. The alumni network is also very valuable

Booked a spontaneous trip to Thailand with a group of 10 interns for the weekend at a beautiful Airbnb

Amazing Internship in Singapore

I had an amazing summer thanks to Absolute Internship, who organized my fintech internship at Pand.ai in Singapore. From the start, they made the whole process super easy and stress-free. The Absolute Internship team was always there to help, whether it was sorting out the details and housing or making sure I was settling in well.

The internship itself at Pand.ai was a fantastic experience. I got to work on some really cool projects, like developing scripts for AI chatbots and building a financial model to tackle some big cost challenges. It was a great way to put my skills in Python, Kubernetes, and MongoDB to use in a real-world setting.

But what made this experience truly special was everything outside of work. Absolute Internship organized plenty of networking events, city tours, and cultural activities that helped me make the most of my time in Singapore. I met awesome people from all over the world and got to explore a vibrant new city.

If you're looking to gain some valuable work experience while having an unforgettable adventure, I can’t recommend Absolute Internship enough.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
For future travelers on the Absolute Internship program, my advice is to embrace every opportunity with an open mind. Actively engage in work and networking events, and balance your professional tasks with exploring the city. Be prepared to adapt to new environments, and don’t hesitate to ask for help if needed.
Pros
  • Elevate my resume with unique abroad experience.
  • The opportunity to live and immerse myself in Singaporean culture.
  • Making amazing friends with similar life goals as me from all over the world.

Great Resume Builder

Interning abroad has opened so many doors for me. My experience comes up often in interviews and helps me stand out when applying for jobs and graduate school programs. I pushed myself outside my comfort zone and gained valuable life and professional experience through doing so. I learned what I want out of a career and was able to use this experience to guide me in the right direction. I also was able to make great memories and friendships with other students on the program. Overall, it was an amazing summer!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I think I would try to connect more on a personal level with my colleagues. I was so nervous in the office since it was my first real internship and was even more nervous because it was overseas. I did the work without getting to really know those I was working with, so I would try to relax more and open up.

  • Great accommodations

Singapore internship

I had an internship in Singapore which was an incredible opportunity. They sorted out all of the documents and looked after us while we were there, arranging activities. I met several other students from across the world on the same program that I became good friends with. I also had the opportunity to travel to neighboring countries. While in Singapore I visited Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, South Korea, and Malaysia. Sim card and public transport was all organized by them which was very useful. We had introduction activities to Singapore which helped us to get to know the area and meet the other people on the program. The 2 absolute internship representatives living with us were incredibly helpful and kind

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Singapore was a very different culture. The hawker stalls were great, a huge variety of foods in one area for good prices
Pros
  • Met lots of new people
  • Got to explore Asia
  • Great opportunities
What other participants should know
  • The timetable said there was an extra bank holiday

Singapore was an amazing experience

Singapore was an amazing experience. My favorite part was getting to travel to other countries on the weekends. I think placement could have been a bit better. I enjoyed the people I worked with, but I did not enjoy the work I was doing. I think a lot of us struggled with that. The communication before the trip wasn't very effective either. I was called the wrong name, wasn't told when to book my flight, and wouldn't receive responses via email for weeks. All of the activities we did in Singapore were fantastic though. I really enjoyed it, and it was an overall great experience.

Best summer ever

This summer in Singapore was the best experience. I’ve met so many new people and I met my best friend there. Also Singapore is a very good city to live in. It is very safe und clean. The city is so beautiful and divers. The accommodation is beautiful and in the center of the city. The club is only a ten minute walk away. The food is so great and cheap. You can get for 7 SGD Michelin star soup dumplings.
I learned how other Company’s work and what are the differences in the working cultures.
If you have the chance to go to Singapore, then do it. You will not regret it.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Fried carrot cake
This is a salty and spicy dish with no carrots. Very strange!
Pros
  • Improve self-confidence
  • Improve English skills (for non-native speaker)
  • Have the summer of a lifetime
What other participants should know
  • It was too short ;)
