(first time here)
I'm doing a summer internship at a web development company (my first experience; I'm still studying)... I'm being too greedy or stupid to hope to get a job along the end?

    @dontPanic thank you... I hope! The thing is: they give mixed indications... I'm trying to focus on what I have now but is obviously a concern! :/

    Depends.
    If they are interested in keeping you they'll probably approach you later in your internship. Otherwise listen to your colleagues and try to get a feeling what the current job situation in the company is like - do they need more people, what would be your position as a newcomer etc.

    If your impression is positive - you can imagine working with them - and you feel they need you, I wouldn't be shy to ask on where to send your application.

    Also. Welcome to devRant. :)

    It depends, some companies use internships as a way to find and train good employees, others use it to get cheap/free labor.

    The type of tasks you do and the amount of support the senior staff is giving you should be a good indication of their intentions.

    @ItsNotMyFault it is supposed to be to train and hire... It's kinda of their way to hire new people... Still, the doubt is real and I was just sharing the feeling that I have right now. Thank you!

    Show them your rants at the end of your job. They will know how hardworking you are and how you get frustrated when you get stuck in a problem.

    // don't do this

    It's absolutely not greedy to expect a job at the end of an internship. In fact it's almost the expectation.

    Good luck. I'm sure you'll nail it.

    I did the same bro..
    Joined as an intern,
    joined as a full time right after it..
    Replaced the senior front end developer there..

    And, now I handle the company's server, files, deployment, even some backend..

    Life is stressful sometimes.. But it's awesome..!

    Work hard, get a job.. Stay awesome!
    Best of luck!
