Feb 1, 2017 at 7:11 comment added Karl On second thought, i think i know what you mean. Best be prepared to be the target of a few jokes when turn up for the internship. I'd certainly raze a rookie who thought my company only second best. ;-) But really I'd be glad to get your higher educated, one year older version.
Feb 1, 2017 at 6:03 comment added Karl Why would it feel strange? OK, if they spend quite some time/money on preparing your visit, and you only cancelled last minute. But i guess that was not the case, right?
Feb 1, 2017 at 5:50 comment added marcman @Karl: Of course I don't think that, although your attitude is lovely. It is a bit of an awkward exchange though. I asked because, particularly in my case, I wasn't dealing with random HR folks or arbitrary interviewers, but the group director and a few of the staff researchers in a small group of roughly a dozen researchers. It's not as though I expect them to be "heartbroken," but, as I said above, it feels strange to come back to them a year later.
Feb 1, 2017 at 5:13 comment added Karl It's not the same internship, but a new one. And do you really think they were so heartbroken when you turned them down last year they'd still hold a grudge? Really.
Feb 1, 2017 at 4:17 comment added Jessica Yes of course you can, it's just a bit embarrassing is all.
