How does a quant position at a prop firm (Market making, high frequency trading) compare with Investment bank? I mean in terms of work itself, hours and salary?

Is HFT something worth going into at the moment? It seems regulations is closing in on HFT. Is there a future for quant in this sector?

I also heard the turnover is normally quite high for prop/HFT firms. Is it possible to switch to commercial banks or IB with experience from a prop firm?
