Hello,

I'm a cs student and got some offers from

BAML Quantitative Trading Group and

Citadel FTAP

Eventually I want to work as Quantitative Researcher of quant funds or prop firms.

BAML QTG Trading Analyst
Pros : Small prop group, experience all position, relaxed environment
Cons : Relatively low prestige, position is not specified (Just work on urgent projects, could work more for developing), Relatively low salary

Citadel FTAP
Pros : Top group, finance class training, High salary, exit opportunity
Cons : Basically FTAP is heavy IT program, which could be end up with developer, Stressful environment


Basically I am considering between
How I can involve to research and trading in BAML vs
How useful financial training and class in FTAP

while I am thinking masters after several years. Thank you
