Stripe vs IMC SWE internship

This would be my last internship. My goal is to recruit full-time at one of JS, HRT, OMC, Headlands, Jump, or Citadel. Would IMC help me pass the resume screen at these firms more than Stripe? And assuming I don't get any of those firms, would it be better to go back for NG at Stripe or IMC? Also, IMC pays a lot more than Stripe for the internship.

Go with IMC. Probably have a higher chance at a FTE return offer there too.

No brainer if you want to work in trading

I am thinking if I will have to go back to either, Stripe might be better for fulltime. I don't think IMC pays much more for fulltime and growth, wlb would probably be better at Stripe.

Obvious answer, IMC gives you things to talk about in your interviews with trading firms but Stripe doesn't

IMC, Stripe probably won't beat new grad offer

IMC is not that high tho. It is like 250 - 325. Stripe would be close.

Discount that stripe stock by a lot bud. Imc return offer rate > stripe return offer rate too

If you care about getting interviews at other hfts then IMC is a no brainer.
