I would only take the GS position if it looks like it could feed you into a quant position… IT people at financial places are treated as secondary citizens.

However much I dislike Microsoft, it’s much better to work somewhere where technology is what \drives\ the company, rather than an area they are forced to sink their money. And Microsoft on your resume is more impressive to just about anyone who hires software people.
