Is it Amazon or AWS? If it AWS, you definetly need to select AWS.

+1. Amazon is still big tech and worth a lot to have on a resume if the kid wants to move outside of the DC Metro area

This is a no brainer, Amazon. Nobody outside of this area would take C1 seriously.

True, but it's like most big Silicon Valley companies in this regard and would carry more weight than a credit card company.

Amazon

All c1 does is hire Amazon anyway

Also depends on where he’ll go to have the internship, if it’s the retail bank stay FAR away

This. Tech innovation at Cap 1 (at least was) fantastic, and amazon really is a factory.

I'd go to Cap1. IMO, better to be the tech around finance people than the tech around tech people. Broadens your world and opportunities. But both are good options and it's ultimately what your kid prefers.

Amazon pay isn’t great, I’d choose Capital One.

For juniors I would pick Cap 1. Amazon (according to a few friends w kids at Amazon) didn't give return offers last summer. Instead gave return internship offers and delayed the full time offers. I would prefer to have a full time offer in hand by the end of junior summer. But if your student doesn’t care either way, then I would go w Amazon.

Thanks, hope he will make the best decision for him.

Cap 1 is known as the most tech heavy banking operation. So CS major will have lots to do there. That said, amazon is an excellent option as well. You cant go wrong either way.

He's a comp. science major, I think he is unsure
about which way to go at this time.

Both very good. Doe she want to end up in Banking. Then Cap 1 for sure.

My son is a junior at UMD and has internship offers from both the above companies, which should he accept?
