Dumb question :)
I know Citadel offers free breakfast/lunch/snack and what not, which is quite a norm for a prop trading firms.
Are there any other multi manager that offers such perks? MLP started stacking some sodas, chips, fruits, but no where near what Citadel offers.
How about other MMs?

Citadel is not a prop trading firm
are you asking about hedge funds or market makers?
But Citadel Securities is.
I'm aware but they're different and have different perks/comp
You know what they say! "I picked Citadel for the cutthroat risk limits and fear of being fired every quarter - but I stayed for the free chips and soda"
The perks you mention are worth maybe $10k per year? It's probably a figure that seems helpful at 22, but it is completely inconsequential relative to other features that matter at a firm (payout terms, drawdown limits, flexibility across asset classes / sectors / factors, good / kind PM if you're an analyst).
Maybe I'm just older now, but I would view free breakfast / lunch as a liability as my metabolism has slowed, I have less time to find windows to exercise, and it would probably test my dietary willpower.
$10k/year worth of apple and Dr Pepper seems reasonable to be honest
Gained 20 pounds in my first year at a place with fully stocked snacks/drinks and expensed meals.
