Thank you, mate :) I should have mentioned that my stuttering is usually mild, gets moderate-severe rarely when I have to speak in front of a big audience or any similar situation, so generally I would say it's mild, so maybe that's the reason for why it might be a bit easier for me to go through the acceptance part. Now, I don't know the severity of your stutter or to what extent it goes, but just keep being strong. I actually was looking for an internship this summer, but didn't get the job (they wanted me to work for them after my internship is done, so they probably believed that I won't be able to manage both, which is quite reasonable). Instead, I got a very flexible part-time job, went through some "talk", wouldn't say interview, and I told them at the end that I stutter, he told me that he didn't even notice and he said don't even bother about it, fun fact, my team leader stutters too, so yeah :)
