Microsoft vs Goldman Sachs (Internship)

I have offers from microsoft for software engineering intern and goldman sachs summer analyst. Which should I join and why? I interned at a startup past summer and have no experience in big N or finance. This is my junior year internship so hoping that it converts to full time.

Do you want to be a software engineer or an analyst?

Well idk, its a quant strat analyst. I don’t know much about quant firms but from what I have heard they have higher pay and more interesting (mathematical) work. Even in the internship goldmann is paying slightly more.

Is this SWE, or IB or Quant summer analyst? SWE at Goldman is comparable to IBM, Expedia.

Depends on what you want for your career tbh. Quant and SDE are very different paths. And being in the wrong one can make you miserable
