Hey, long time watcher of this site but first-time poster. Transferred to Berkeley this year as a Junior and am study Economics. I have interned for a small tech-based consulting firm for the past two summers. Will going to community college significantly hurt my chances of landing a full-time job?

0%, if you went to community college they know you're an idiot from the outset
Sounds like the audit intern has a chip on his shoulder
Just leave it out and stay an extra semester so you can apply for another internship as technically a Berkley sophomore, then apply for junior ib internship. With a good gpa + relevant internship you should be able to get it but you can't do the two+ two method from CC to University due to the accelerated recruiting. Really though an extra semester is a small price to pay for the end goal.
This. Take advantage of that spring semester where you wont have anything to do and travel/do dumb stuff/live.
