Debating taking IBM Fall Co-op Current sophomore CS major at a US T10 CS school. I was fortunate enough to land SDE at the rainforest company this summer and received another offer from IBM Fall Co-op at SVL. I'm unsure whether or not I should take this IBM Fall offer.

My reasons for taking it are: \- 80% experience: both in the San Jose area and just at another big company \- 10% money \- 10% resume value: I'm told IBM won't add much when you already have rainforest My reasons for not taking it are: \- 80% Opportunity cost of doing another co-op down the line \- 10% Potentially better time recruiting in the fall.
