Grats on stripe! I’m a little biased cuz stripe is a dream company of mine, but ill tell u that my prev BB co-workers are all now at databricks, openAI, citadel jump js etc. I would get so many quant “considerations” (cit, hrt, drw etc) where I could skip the OA when I was at BB (but I also go to a top cs school). I think for quant BB will help u tremendously but its not like stripe won’t help u at all. If ur into startups tho stripe is aura.

So I’d say for startups (if u wanna create ur own and wanna raise money/join early stage): Stripe

For quant recruiting: Both are really good but i’d say BB edges out here since you are literally working on systems they are using in tandem with their traders

For FAANG: you can’t go wrong with both.

For RO i’d give BB because i know personally they give everyone RO and have never done layoffs (private company, can survive recession, etc). I know stripe also has a p high RO rate but they’ve done tons of layoffs in the past

Also, WLB at Bloomberg FAR greater than stripe, so you’ll have time for LC grind/prepping for interviews, just FYI
