The spider is always on the hunt.
??? Shouldn't the Avengers expect this from Gobby by now?
The spider is always on the hunt.
In-universe, it was explained in the Dark Web tie-in. She simply needs a job.
out-of-universe, it seems she's popular, but not popular enough to have an ongoing, and neither are the Champions. They had to fit her somewhere, but where? Here. A bad choice if you ask me (she would be better used with Miles Morales or with Captain Marvel), but that's why she' there: because she has to be somewhere, and that's the place they selected.
Yeah, like they sent Victor Mancha to spy on Vision and his happy family. Considering the results... I hope they are wrong.
In any case, the Avengers are kinda busy, fighting a lot of somebodies somewhere for some reason. And there are at least 4 Phoenixes on the battlefield. The Green Goblin killing someone by accident or not is too mundane for them right now.
Bear in mind, not long before Kamala took this Oscorp internship, she'd also taken one at Roxxon in Champions. That was an infiltration mission, where they successfully exposed their involvement in CRADLE and Kamala's Law, leading to the law getting repealed (only for the Champions to apparently disband soon after, as half the team was Outlawed again by the Powers Act in Devil's Reign). The six month timeskip in ASM means Kamala would've graduated from school (she was 16 when she debuted, her brother became a Dad since then so that ages her up a year, Secret Wars adds another eight months, so ASM's six months makes it more than two years since she got her powers, meaning Kamala is now 18) so as you said, she needed a job (she has looked into college, maybe she couldn't afford it). The Avengers could've taken advantage of that. A teenage superhero with a lot of extra free time on her hands, who's already been an Avenger. And since she has a secret identity, she can spy on them in her civilian identity - as she'd already done at Roxxon. Makes more sense than her not knowing what she wanted to do in life and being pushed into it by her Dad (her friends are baffled as to why she took the job, as shown in Dark Web).
Kamala's solo writers have always been Muslims, right?

And has probably already happened in ASM's timeline - I'd expect Avengers to catch up when the creative team changes.
