Hi everyone!I'm currently a Ph.D. student at one of the top 4 CS schools (CMU, Berkeley, Stanford, MIT) and have received internship offers from several places:Citadel (I'd be working as a "quant" intern, not FTAP)Goldman SachsTwo SigmaJump TradingI'm curious -- what's the perceived "prestige" of each of these places? I've heard that GS is a little different, since it's an investment bank, but is it like comparing apples and oranges when comparing to the other firms on this list?Also, is anyone familiar with the full-time compensation structure for the above places? I've heard that compensation heavily depends on performance, but is someone familiar with actual figures?In particular -- the internship offers are ludicrously high (~$9-10K a month, plus corporate housing for two of the above firms -- not sure I'm allowed to say which). I've checked on Glassdoor, but the true numbers seem a bit low.- mfrobo
