I am a final year PhD student at a top-10 CS school. I will be a returning intern at Google and also have a verbal offer from Microsoft Research for an internship position and I am confused where to go. Going back to Google will land me an easy full time offer for sure. I am not sure if interning at MSR gives me an upper hand in getting a full.time job but the intern experience is unparalleled. Does anyone have any advice on what should I choose?
which one are you more motivated by? also how the comp would compare both during the internship and as full time. I'd pick Google
From previous thread OP is leaning towards MSR for interview and work? aligns with PhD. Also OP wants ease of transition to FTE which is easier with MS.
I was leaning towards MSR purely because of some industrial research experience but that would I mean I need to go through 4 interviews again at Google which is not a pleasant experience.
MSR would be better for you. There's no substantial difference for your resume between 1 and 2 Google internships unless your new Google team is significantly better.
Do you know if MSR counts an internship towards a full-time offer?
Interning at MSR will indeed help you get a full-time offer there.
Is it possible to do both internships?
Go for MSR. It should help you land a full time position there unless covid gets worse and no interns get return offer. In terms of TC, msft new grad TC is very generous and it might even exceed google if they want you. So go for it
Hands down Microsoft, except for nlp Google is better

I will be with Data management group in MSR and I have an offer with BigQuery at Google.
