Step Program salaries in United Kingdom

I am a computer science student and for the past three years I was working for a tech startup. I left the job due to difficulties in getting paid and now I have the mission to get internships or client work. However, being from Africa, I am having a hard time finding clients or even finding internships. Generally, it is possible in this era and time to find remote work as an intern or junior software engineer?

Does anyone else cringe a bit when they see a former intern, or similar, have “ex-BCG”, “former Bain”, “PwC alum”, etc. on their LinkedIn headline? I don’t like it generally, and I don’t feel like an intern even counts. I truly hope it helps someone get a job, just cringy.

Incoming Intern at EYP. Question for the full timers, as an associate do you get to request what type of deals you get staffed on if you have an interest in a certain industry or a specific D/SD/P if there’s one you have a great relationship with? Or is it completely random each time? Also curious to hear if it’s any different at PwC or KPMG as well

I’m an intern at an engineering consulting company, which I have enjoyed, but my supervisor never seems to have much work for me to do. Most days when I ask him what I could help out with, he doesn’t have anything for me. So then I ask my fellow employees if I can help with anything and I’m met with the same response. Nobody seems to have any work for me, but I get paid regardless. I feel dishonest about it. Any advice for how I could get more out of my internship when there is nothing to do?
