Good luck finding great interns!

I do want to point out the flaw in this line: "I wanted to know if hard work paid off so I worked from 10am to 12am. It did: Slide offered me a full-time but I declined."

You might have received an offer doing good work 7 hours a day.

I agree. I never worked overtime in my internship but was extended an offer. My review doesn't say how much I worked but what I accomplished and delivered.

Yeah, I worked 6.5 - 7 hours a day at MSFT and got a full time offer as well [1], which is what made me think of pointing this out in the first place.

[1] And left my team happy, having finished my project beyond what they expected. Plus, those days were short largely because of all the entertainment stuff MSFT did for us interns. I don't want to give the impression I was slacking off for the sake of it.
