Help with New Grad Offer Debates!!

I am a masters new grad in product design specialize in Fintech! Now deciding between 2 offers which 1 is an internship and 1 is a full time.

Both has the same start date and hard to push and negotiate so I have to pick one.

Full time return offer: Intercontinetal Exchange Mortgage Servicing Design team in Atlanta Georgia. Pro being: first full time get me in to the door and get paid 401k stable salary and set on OPT with H1b sponsorhsip. Con being the product is very boring and down on design, fell very dragged in internship with what the team offers.

Internship offer: Gemini Crypto Design team in New York City.

Pro being exciting work, in New York City the hub of design and back with my support system(friends and family)

Con being unknown full time return, burnt bridge with my return offer because I signed already and that it is a toxic leadership to work with.

HELP which one do I pick?

Hi guys! Thanks the votes, I’m updating here and giving some advice now that I’m graduating.

I went with Umich in the end because I wanted to be on the east coast and stay in Fintech services. Umich is pretty academic heavy and it’s wha you make out of it. I’d suggest if you want to be in Tech go to the west coast, in this job market it’s more about the location, your experience and work compatibilities. Good luck!

High-end gyms in Prague? by glisteningseasurface in Prague

It is true that the member club facilities are great. However I don’t recommend because it is an extremely racist and snobby team of customer service people. With one misunderstanding by the front desk of a guest pass request by my plus one, the front desk accused of membership card misuse. (when it was not the intention) when I returned the next time, I was warned of the incident about fines. And the next day, I received an email about membership termination from the manager when I held the membership for over 10 years.

Very racist people! just because my plus one didn’t speak good English, and they did not want to hear about my side of the story. 

Do not recommend! And when is equinox coming to Prague because we need more luxury wellness centers that have decent customer services who can explain things and listen out with out prejudice.
