i think it depends, i dont think more experience will ever be a bad thing it can only help you learn more. whether its worth it depends on your personal circumstances, what you'd have to sacrafice for the off season etc.

fair, in terms of sacrifices i wouldn't be affected at all in terms of grad date but at the same time idk if i wanna intern another 4 months. im leaning towards taking it only if i can get a rlly good team/project

#

and am i tripping for thinking recruiters might skip the res if they don't recognize my most recent experience

#

my guess would be yeah thats overthinking since at very least theyre prob looking at first few names, but i cant say for sure

#

cool yeah, makes sense. i think ill just wait for team matching and see if it outweighs the interesting courses im taking in the fall

#

any reason why in particular btw?

@grand skiff literally just put your most prestigious company at the top of your resume

#

people say EXP in order but thats kinda horseshit, put "what you want them to see" in order

#

treat them reading your resume as a P
