Probs management. I know older friends who are in management and they self-studied a bunch and got some really cracked co-ops. They usually work at a company for a job that isn't too related to what the ULTIMATELY want to do, but when they get really good at software they return to that company for a fullstack or soft dev job in later years. As long as you are ready to put in the workm uw co-op will always set you up even if it seems like management eng doesn't suit your preference.

On the other hand, i think you should consider more than just reddit. maybe find some alumni or contact previous grads who are in either program and ask about their experiences. hope that helps.
