Would declining a job offer negatively affect my chances of applying there in the future?
I'm graduating college, and beginning to apply to companies for work starting in the summer. I'm mostly looking at paid internship-type positions in order to gain more experience before a "more real" job. So, I'm applying to several places and seeing who will bite, so to speak.
There's basically 2 companies I would really like to work for. From what I've read about them, Company 1 (C1) has a program that lasts for about a year, and it could get extended for another, but after that you're out. Company 2(C2) has a "residency" program where you spend two years with a mentor learning and doing work, and then you're sent on your way.
I would love to work for both, but obviously can't do that at the same time. If I had to choose, C1 would be my first choice. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm applying to both of them since I'm not guaranteed a spot in either, and would rather have a job, then make the wrong guess. Obviously in the case where one offers me a job and the other doesn't, just take the job. In the case where both offer me a job, I would like to take the job at C1 (withdrawing from C2), and then in the future, after my time there, re-apply to C2 (unless there's a reason not to).
Here's my question: In general, does turning down a job at C2 negatively affect my chances of applying there again a year or two after?
