Many landlords require the first rent in advance and 1-3 months as a deposit.
- If you start working at the middle of the month it is possible that your first salary will arrive at the end of the next month. So you probably need to have to pay 1 more rent without having received any.
- There can be a problem with the payslips, for example if you are not able to get your taxId in time you will be taxed at maximum rate for the first month.

- They make you look wealthy, some landlords only respond to real estate agents because they know that if you can afford to pay for one you probably can afford to live in the apartment.
- Since you have a good salary by working in big tech, try to overbid. Offer somewhere around 50 to 150 eur / month more than is listed. But make it look nice: like "_apartment is so nice, beautiful, we love it. The market is crazy right now, so to make sure we'll claim the place we'd like to offer X+100 instead of X listed price_"
- Make a Google doc of introduction WITH YOUR NICE PHOTO(S). Make a nice friendly photo of you / you and your friend / your family together, and write a nice story where you mention that you work for "BIG TECH NAME" full-time, that BIG TECH NAME will give you a permanent contract and it's not just a 1 year contractor job, how much you're making, your little nice back-story, etc.
- Check if the contract is legit: some cities like Amsteram offer some service like [wooninfo.nl](http://wooninfo.nl/) where you can send your contract and questions via email.

## - Are internships paid?

Yes, internships in all large companies are paid. In addition to the monthly salary some companies may also offer a "relocation" bonus and payment for flights to the city where the offices are located.

## - How can I prepare for coding interviews?

To prepare for coding interviews you need to have a basic knowledge of algorithms and data structures, [in our wiki](https://wiki.superherovalley.fun/) you will find many resources to brush up or study these topics.
Our community also offers group exercises and mock interviews to better prepare for interviews.

## - How do you write a good CV?

[In our wiki](https://wiki.superherovalley.fun/features/cv/) we have a section that collects many useful tips for writing a good resume.
[In our Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/DsRJgkraTa) we also provide you with the opportunity to submit your CV to receive tips on how to improve it.

## - Can I participate in SuperHero Valley even if I am a first-year student?

Of course you can! Our goal is to give you an early awareness of the opportunities that many companies can offer you, for example, Google offers first- and second-year students an internship program called [STEP](https://buildyourfuture.withgoogle.com/programs/step/).


## - When can I apply for internships?

The opening of the application period varies by company. We recommend that you review the list of companies we have included [in our wiki](https://wiki.superherovalley.fun/features/ricerca_internships/) and then search for the "Career" or "Jobs opening" page of the company you are interested in.

## - To do an internship, is it necessary to travel to the city where the company is located?

During the covid period, internships were conducted online. They are usually held in-person and this is an advantage, in our opinion, because it allows you to have a training experience in all respects.

## - How important is English proficiency?

English proficiency is important. You need to have the ability to interact with the recruiter and interviewer to be able to communicate best during the interview.

## - How important is it to do an internship during college?

Doing an internship provides you with the opportunity to gain practical experience that you usually do not get by doing only your college coursework.
In addition, it is possible that the company, once the internship is over, will contact you again to do the same experience the following year or offer you a contract for a full-time position.

## - I am about to finish my bachelor's degree and will soon start my master's degree, can I apply for an internship even now or is it better to wait for the master's degree?

If you are sure to apply for the master's degree, apply as soon as possible and try to get an internship.
Remember that the company wants you to return to the university after the work period is over to finish your studies.

## - Is the internship compatible with university?

Internships can only be done while at university.
Companies often ask for "permission" from your home university to allow you to do the internship.

**SuperHero Valley** is a community founded in October 2020 with the goal of providing a bridge between Italian University and prestigious companies in the field of information technology. In other countries, it is common, during the university period, to attend courses tailored to support tech interviews and do internships in large companies. These activities are almost nonexistent and unknown in Italy. Getting an internship offer, or even a full-time position, from Silicon Valley companies is no easy without the proper preparation. These require precise skills and behaviors to follow, which Superhero Valley aims to teach students through weekly appointments:

- **Motivational talks** from successful people working in prestigious companies from different industries. They talk briefly about their carrer journey and you have the opportunity to ask anything you want.

- **Mock interview**: conducted by people working in big tech companies, with the goal of quantifying the student's level of preparation. At the interviewer's discretion, it is also possible to reward promising candidates with a referral that allows them to skip the "cv screening" stage.
- **Exercise Group**: a couple of times a week you can meet face-to-face other motivated students that are preparing for technical interviews. The group is also supervised by Big Tech employees that are there to help you and answer your questions, for free! The exercises are mainly directed toward the following interview stages: **Coding**, **System Design** and **Behavioral**.
- **Social events** held by organizers to bring community members closer together. Events that are less formal, and more for fun, where participants can talk freely with each other.
