Internships offer students an excellent opportunity to explore their interests, pursue individual goals, and cultivate long-lasting relationships on a professional and personal level. Tejas Mehta was able to accomplish all of this at Slack this past summer, where he leveraged his experience writing software to improve Slack’s user experience. “What really surprised me is how much they trust interns,” said Tejas when asked about what was shocking to him about his experience. “It surprised me initially, but then it started to make sense because you learn most with the ownership being given to you.”

Tejas Mehta is a junior student studying in the Texas CSB Program, and since high school, he has been interested in the intersection of technology and business. Tejas enjoys building software that will be used to help people, and he hopes to continue doing this throughout his professional career. Tejas also emphasizes the importance of exploring your interests, and he suggests that students do everything they can to figure out what they are most passionate about.

This past summer, Tejas worked as an intern with Slack. Read on to find out more about his experiences and some of his advice to succeed!
