Point72 (copying from another post)

  • swe (not quant/cubist)
  • not cubist so tc ~160k for fulltime
  • p72 swe internship is a relatively new program (this is the second year its offered i think)
  • ~95% RO rate
  • allegedly the firm is growing so less likely to immediately get fired (?)
  • 60 hr + 5k bonus
  • provided housing in new york
  • 10 weeks
  • high impact project
  • tech is less mature and not operating at global production scale (from prev intern)
  • asked prev interns and they had an overall good experience

Snap

  • high impact project (maybe not…)
  • 52ish per hr
  • around 200k tc for fulltime
  • free bfast +lunch
  • pretty good work life balance
  • Work is pretty interesting
  • get ro for ft very late (like november) -> will have to rerecruit

i also have a likely amazon ro (but have been there 2x summer so wanna try something new)

priorities for strong ro to ft, good work life balance, tc, growth in career. most likely will switch companies after 2-3 years after promotion. im not as interested in fintech but its also an opportunity i dont want to regret not trying out. leaning towards snap bc of intern/work culture but wanted to get advice on what people think i should do

#

lowk i couldn’t find tc so i just guessed maybe ill just remove it from the post 😭

i did snap last summer

#

p72 mogs

#

dont do snap

#

i failed literally every res screen

#

not literally

#

but i failed a lot more than u would expect snap to pass

#

and i heard other people who did it

hybrid silo
#

i’d have amzn on my resume tho

analog jay
#

they got asked abt other prev exp instead

#

cuz nobody cared abt snap

#

thank god i got an offer for next summer otherwise id be fried af

hybrid silo
#

it is according to levels fyi

patent grotto
#

Do yk p72 team?

analog jay
#

p72 always better than snap in this case

brazen citrus
hybrid silo
#

p72 & snap team matching in jan

analog jay
#

theres just no point to do snap over p72

hybrid silo
#

just for internship

analog jay
#

yea true l4 at snap is nice af

hybrid silo
#

bro how do i figure out ft tc for p72 😭

analog jay
#

nah its not that unheard of

#

if ur good u get promoted fast

hybrid silo
#

400k?? it looked like 200k on levels

analog jay
#

if ur mickey then u get fired

#

after 3 years

#

thats basically how it works at snap

hybrid silo
#

oh oops i’m still in amzn mindset

analog jay
#

thats the impression i got from working there, obv i was only an intern and not very knowledgable

#

yea

#

im not entirely sure if it will stay like that tbh

#

i heard l3 bar has gotten lower there

#

p72 mogs tf outta snap lmao

#

i like snap as a place to work, but im taking bloomberg over it cuz res value at snap seemed horrible for intern (maybe my project was buns tho idk)

hybrid silo
#

work life balance ?

analog jay
#

wlb there seems doable but not good at all

#

most the people on my team were doing 10 hr days minimum

#

i would do snap for ng personally, but only for a bit

#

lmao

#

well canada is shit

#

tbf

hybrid silo
#

this could be for p72 quant?

placid summit
#

its not quant

warm thunder
#

did u get snap thru snapfest?

hybrid silo
#

yes!

fallow gorge
#

wait l4 at snap being 400k is crazy

#

but also most of it is not great stock (like snap stock has been >>>)

#

tbh if u want to work in tech --> snap, quant/finance adjacent --> p72

#

i think im a bit biased bc im lowk not taking the snap offer but im happy to talkk through why

analog jay
#

What r u taking instead

analog jay
#

Holy aura

fallow gorge
#

snap ng comp might be more tho lol

hybrid silo
#

snap ng looks like could be a little more than 20k max than p72. i think p72 base is 150k plus maybe like 10k

analog jay
#

Ngl this is mad confusing to me

#

Cuz I put Bloomberg vs snap

#

And Bloomberg won w a landslide

#

But p72 only got 2/3 of the votes here??

#

Is Bloomberg better than p72 ?

frank flame
analog jay
#

idk what that is

candid hamlet
#

Bberg is better than p72 but not cubist

candid hamlet
analog jay
#

oh yea

#

thats interesting

#

id assume swe at p72 is better as well

#

trading makes sense tho'

hybrid silo
#

the careers website for p72 has base of 150 for nyc ng
