Is GS FIG worth the pay cut

I'm a sophomore about to be a SA in GS FIG for summer 2024. I'm coming from a target school and decided not to re recruit because I'm super excited about the offer and hope to do my soph and junior summers there + analyst years at least. However, as friends recruit for junior summer I'm starting to feel self conscious about GS's pay and worried that I should've gone elsewhere. Thoughts? Any insight on pay and bonuses? Will it all work out?
