Do you know what kind of work you'd be doing as an "AI Intern?" With how much Salesforce has been pushing AI, I fear it'd be just a title thing and not actually lead to much learning about AI work beyond just being a SWE intern.

AWS for sure. I think the difference between having AWS and Salesforce  on your resume moving forward could matter a lot more than the experience you'd gain at these companies.

I hv worked at both places. If you’re after gaining solid industrial experience, amazon is good place. Salesforce is chill and boring.

I am a junior at UT Austin returning to Slack (Salesforce). I gained solid industry experience on my team and had an amazing work/life balance in SF.
