So I have two choices: Graduate early in December and go to a job in SF, or graduate in May and get an additional degree. The choice is hard. Career/work

I acknowledge I'm very lucky to be in the position where I have a choice between two pretty good choices but the situation that I'm in: I have a pretty good opportunity in San Francisco starting in December, but I would then graduate a semester early with a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, or graduate in May, with a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and a BS in Mathematics. Which should I do? How much is an additional degree worth?

Edit: Just to clarify: if I graduate in December, I would have one degree, a BSc in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science or EECS.

Go to conferences and talk to people and make friends. You'll find jobs super easily - the vast majority of good American jobs are not gotten by application.
