Summary

While David Wang and Leander Rodrigues both started at Sentry through internships, their experiences were vastly different. Wang was tasked with a significant project, feeling a high level of autonomy and respect for his abilities, which led to him wanting to return to the company full-time. In contrast, Rodrigues' experience was more typical of an internship, where he received guidance and support from the team, but still felt a sense of trust and accommodation that made him want to stay. Both now work as full-time Software Engineers at Sentry, citing the team's value on their education and identity, and looking forward to continuing to make meaningful changes.
