planning to take a semster off and take 2 internships next year. this way ill have 2 offers to neogotiate with. which of the following companies should i intern at to get juciest bidding war? facebook, google, amazon, uber, cruise, lyft, citadel. dont want to work long term at finance but would intern at citadel for leverage. prob wanna work full time at G or F post graduation.
I think I’d try to get fb, Airbnb, goog, and amzn to compete. I think even just with fb and Airbnb you can prob drive both to upper ends of the band.
Also fb does a “rockstar” intern offer if you do well in the internship that is most likely top of market for new grad.
Splunk does pay very well
Go to citadel, easy. Why is this a question?
Hard to have a bidding war when you end up with 0 offers.
Internship offers for the above. Confident in converting them into full time. Even if not, humor me?
Discard Uber and Cruise because they're trash, every other company there is fair game to match offers though I hear Google is more stingy these days and you'll get the lowest of lowballs from them first. I would add Airbnb, Stripe to replace Uber and Cruise.
