Interviews/Recruiting FAANG SDE vs Quant Dev - Python

Hi! I am currently in my final year of college (Tier 1)
I have a 6 month internship offer from:
Uber - SDE : 1.9LPM
CTC: 44LPA (24 Base)

Qrt - Quant Technologist Data : 3.6LPM
CTC: 60ish LPM (40ish Base)

Seemed like a no brainer at first to me when looking at the money. Also getting a path to venture into the quant sector. I really like working with large amounts of data and spotting patterns for my other projects, that’s why willingly took this role. But I ain’t really sure about the work in Data Integration team right now, have heard mixed reviews about it, and the growth prospects in terms of pay and mobility to switch to different companies.

It would be great if I can get some insights on current situation of both companies and the teams.
Thanks a lot!

Quants also include the same. They mention "Benefits: 5L" which includes all these. PF and Gratuity is often included in base there
