Squarepoint capital or a top BB?
Hello guys, thank you for taking the time! Hesitating, got two summer internships knowing that Squarepoint is QR and BB is EQD trading. The second one is obviously easier to get a return offer on (almost sure I will have one).
Would be my first finance internship, any advice? What is Squarepoint worth? I don't really know? The BB I would start aso 1 which is a good point. I do see myself working at either full time next year if I got the FT.
Thank you!

up guys!
To be blunt: do you speak French?
generally the take on squarepoint is that it's hard to have a long term career there/grow in the firm if you don't
great to have both opportunities though, you're in a good spot - congrats
I am actually French yeah. Does this make SquarePoint the best choice?
yes
Yes, I'd take squarepoint. Bank is seen as "sellside" while at sp you'll actually be getting real QR experience.
Only caveat would be some insane noncompete which can hurt early in your career (>1 yr).
As r/quant will no doubt try to make you feel insecure about, sure, it's not a "tier 1 AAA+++" name like JS. But it is a very good name, and since the french issue is a nonissue, I'd go with that. And congrats
Squarepoint, definitely.
How good of a name is it to lateral?
Is that your goal?
it has very little name value in the US. maybe abroad it's great
