Anyone know if the quant/verbal sub scores matter when applying? Or do schools just look at the total score

The breakdowns matter. You want at least a 47 in quant to stack up.

My sense is that a lot of schools don't care, but a quant heavy school (MIT, Tepper) is going to put more weight on quant. (Other schools might too, just saying that your quant needs to stack up for some schools)

I got a 50 in quant but my score was under a 750. Was wondering if the high quant score will help my GMAT stand out more

Maybe - a 750 is really good though. If you can't get into schools with that, your GMAT is not the problem id say.

Mine was a 730. Was just wondering if a higher quant could equal me out with someone who got a 750

I would doubt it. Schools care about your gmat for two reasons - they want to know whether you can cut it in their program, and they care about their avg score. With a 730, you certainly check the first box...a 750 will edge you out on the second. A 730 is a good score though, you'll get into some good schools with that and a consulting background. Would think top 15 for sure, maybe top 5-10. All you little overachievers need to stop stressing. The top 10 schools basically have the same recruiters anyway.

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?
