After a year of employers quietly trimming their intern classes, the trend reversed. Most students will read that good news exactly wrong.
GPA stopped being the screen. What replaced it is a set of competencies you almost certainly think you are better at than employers do.
New 2026 laws forced a salary range into the posting. The width, the anchor, the units, and a missing range each tell you something before you ever apply.
The qualifications section is the part everyone reads and the least important gate in the whole listing. The real filters are in the lines you skim.
No one screens your major or your GPA story first. They screen the list of techniques you have actually run, and that list comes from a lab, not a lecture hall.
CPG companies hire general managers through one door, the summer internship. Most applicants show up prepared for the wrong interview entirely.
In software engineering internships, an automated coding assessment fires before a human ever opens your application. In 2026, the score it produces follows you.
Consulting gives you a case. Accounting gives you a lane. Banking hands you a closed-book exam in valuation, and you have to network your way in just to sit for it.
In accounting, the service line you choose as an intern shapes the next decade, and the CPA rulebook just changed under your feet.

The requirements sound like they want five years of experience. They moved the bar because AI ate the floor, not because they expect you to be senior.
