Abstract

Angel Torres is a college sophomore placed in their first summer internship. While Angel hoped the Internship might lead to a full-time job after graduation, the work, so far, was basic and did not provide Angel an opportunity to show their full abilities. Angel had an idea of how to improve the user interface of the company's primary app but found it difficult to propose the idea. Angel had other concerns - around pay, specifically - but was concerned about raising them at home. Angel's Mom wanted Angel to help with a family chore but doing so might jeopardize the internship. What could Angel do? In the sequel, Angel reaches out to a number of colleagues and friends to collect additional information to help inform their negotiation choices.
