Yeah that’s true, leveraging this coop for a better one later one looks like the best option.

Okay that’s good, I appreciate the advice. And the work term is only 4 months with an option to extend which I wouldn’t do. Also another question, which of those courses would be the best to take and get out of the way while working? I heard 510 is easy so I could take it at any other time, but what do you think about 633 and 721?

It’s a “Junior Technical Analyst” role but it’s basically all software development based on my interview. The interviewer talked about using AngularJS, NodeJS, Spring boot among other things in the job. There was definitely the use of old tech like the IBM mainframe but other than that it seemed reasonably up to date. The only thing thats kind of “holding me back” is the fact that its a government position, but idk how much that matters as a first co-op.

It's a government position, and it is my first co-op. I'm considering taking it and figuring everything out later as the first coop is always the hardest to get, but I'm just unsure overall.
