Go with GS.
Microsoft/Google will have you drinking Kool-Aid and you'll be pushing their shit.
If you go into GS you will learn a lot more about finance and that's important, you can take that knowledge and move to a corporation that uses a better language like Haskell or Ocaml, or find some open minded people who will let you use a better language inside GS.
At Microsoft/Google you are stuck with .Net/C++ or something like Go which was designed by an idiot who forgot about incremental compilation. Also they are offering you less, so they can go fuck themselves.
