Not gonna lie, some of these Riipen Level UP projects are wilding😭

You click on a project thinking it’s a student learning opportunity, then suddenly the company wants:

market research, competitor analysis, social media strategy, branding plan, customer acquisition plan, implementation roadmap, final report, pitch deck, reflection, and probably a handwritten apology to their Q4 revenue.

Like bro… this is not a “student project” anymore, they just doing cheap labour cause payment is capped at 23/hr or around that and no overtime
😭

I’m not saying every company is bad. Some are actually fair. But some of these project scopes feel like companies discovered a student labour cheat code.

Anyone else seeing projects with like 8–10 deliverables and thinking, “wait… am I getting experience or am I being outsourced?”

If anyone knows I would really appreciate if they can let me know and others as well as I’m trying to get in one of the programs.
