Bridgewater Investment Logic Engineer VS Akuna Quant Research Internship

Considering two internship offers:

Bridgewater Investment Logic Engineer:
- The role is a combination of software engineering, data science, and investment fundamentals
- Salary: 75/hr + housing
- Pros: Good talent pool, learn a lot from the culture
- Cons: Second class compared to investment analysts, many people exit to pure data science, bad location, lots of people get fired fulltime after a year if they dont make the cut

Akuna quant research
- Salary: 85/hr + housing
- Pros: More technical work that is better regarded by pure prop trading places, location in boston at 15 person office
- Cons: Among prop trading firms, Akuna is fairly low tier. Less varied experience and exit ops than bwater.

What do i DO???

My Career goals: total compensation + keeping doors open to do interesting things (vague i know, but i dont like the idea of being stuck doing exact same thing forever)
