ipod during work?

outside normal hours i wouldnt mind so much, just make a comment that it helps you work, or it can look like you're just bored and pushing keys while pulling hours.

At an internship though, you arent there for long, risk vs reward, risk is you push someones buttons the wrong way, reward is you get a few tunes in your ears cos your conversation blows :) T

people always listen to music, on their pc mostly but whats the difference between that and your ipod. better though during night and late when you are cranking away.

ppl listen to music all the time, not a problem.

Just do what other people in your group do, particularly as an intern.

this is generally common but i personally am against it because it looks unprofessional and gives off the impression that you're a recluse. it's obviously okay if you listen to music for a little bit during meals, but i know people who keep their headphones on all day which is ridiculous.

otherwise, agreed with HPM -- as an intern, you don't wanna be "that" guy.

would not do it as an intern

I dont know how people can do the mindless work without music. If you can, more power to you. In all my internships, I usually had an earbud in one ear during the day and then both ears late night - cant really crank without it.

90% of analysts use Pandora, ipods, etc. - just use any/all at the appropriate times, and as usual with questions on this forum, common sense > creating another useless forum topic.

I find it amazing that people can concentrate while listening to music

all day everyday.

I listen to music 90% of the time in the office.
