What’s Better: Interning At Microsoft, Or Interning Abroad?

“Taking a job just to build a resume is like saving up sex for old age”

-Warren Buffet

The question has long been asked, and pondered: “what’s better: a Microsoft position or an international position?”

When choosing an position as a high-school graduate, college student, or college graduate, you will be faced with a tough dilemma: what’s the best route to go down?

Obviously, you can shoot for the most prestigious institutions on the list. A Microsoft position is clearly an impressive element to any resume – but is that the choice which will give you career fulfillment? Studies prove that a career which gives you spiritual, and emotional, satisfaction is proven to be a leading factor for higher salaries.

Obviously, the more invested you are in your career – both intellectually, and spiritually – the greater your chances for long-term success.

 

How to Find Long-Term Career Fulfillment

At Top Israel Interns, we’ve been dealing with the issues of career fulfillment for a long time. Our applicants are guided by experts along every step of their quest to find positions abroad.

The mistake most college graduates make is not doing enough soul-searching prior to their position search. “What are your main areas of interests?” “Was there a particular class you took in high-school, or college, which really spoke to you?” “Who are your main role models in the world of professionals?” These are questions you should be asking yourself.

Your career path is something very important, and often-times colleges don’t properly prepare their graduates for the almost-life-long journey which they will embark on after graduation: the journey of the career.
