They give you 2 options if they think you're gonna make it in the academy. First is they'll try to move you to the data team, the other is a no return offer. If they give you the former option, take it.

 

wdym if they think you’re going to make it in the academy? do you mean the opposite?

 

P72 overhired for the past two years and realized about 6 months ago they didn't have enough seats on the pods. they clipped good portion of FT academy kids without notice then and clipped 15/16 out of 40 of the summer intern class
