I'm probably overthinking here but is there any disadvantage to choosing to work for 10 weeks instead of 12, especially when it comes to the possibility of receiving a funnel offer? Does 10 weeks look lazy or show a lack of dedication when I could have elected to work for 12 weeks? Thanks in advance.

I don't think anybody will hold 10 weeks against you (especially if you have another obligation), but more face time obviously increases your chances of someone going to bat for you. Don't get too hung up on funnel offers though- when I was there they gave zero due to a hiring freeze. There's no way of knowing if that will happen again (especially with the state of Washington these days).
