How the heck do you guys do it?
Those of you who have travelled great distances just for an internship.
How?
I was offered just an interview with Amazon - after not hearing anything for 5 months! - and can't bring myself to accept, just for the anxiety of going so far away. Being so alone there. But that's if I even get it, of course...
Not to mention I'm only now really learning about the algorithms and whatnot they'd be asking me about in the interview.
Add to that the stress of being given 5 days to decide...
And I'm a wreck right now.

If it's an internship then you won't be away FOREVER, will you? Also you'll meet new people, plus be busy all the time anyway so meh.
And don't stress over not knowing algorithms etc - do what you can to learn, then do the interview. If they approve you, then that means they reckon you're capable enough to learn this stuff as you go. I mean, presumably your original application never said 'I KNOW ALL THE ALGORITHMS PERFECTLY ETC' and they've given you an interview, so it's probably not essential to be a MASTER of that stuff.
Just chill. Do the interview, don't worry too much else you'll get all paniced during it, and if they offer you the job then definitely accept it because they think you're capable of doing well, and travelling is good. Well, obviously Britain is smaller so travelling around it is less of a big deal.
Hopefully these ramblings make sense, I'm quite tired.
