Re: the social issue - all the young dudes on the team were really in to Star Craft, which is great, but not something I can really have a conversation about. They offered me a job because I was still a perfectly cordial / competent person. I just didn't bond with my teammates beyond a very superficial, professional level.

Well, now it is straight up "the grass is greener" problem.

I'd wipe away the cons list at this point, and just look at the pros, and just pick which pros make you can more envision yourself waking up to every day. Don't worry about corporate street cred -- it will stay with you through your MS/Google internships.

I still have bias towards choosing corporate as I personally wanted a nest egg so that when I did go to startups I would be financially worry free, and it worked out for me. I was able to save almost 50-60% of my salary every year (lived at my folks house).
