I interned this summer at a day trading firm and was recently offered a position as a full time trader. Among the non quant firms I'd say it's one of the top 5 places to prop trade. I've heard a lot of criticisms of the firm and prop trading in general as a dead end as there is basically no salary/career progression. While it's hard for me to speak intelligently on such matters as I have yet to enter the work force I can testify to the fact that the top guys here are making big, big money and most are still in their twenties. I'm joining Columbia MFE in the fall so my exit opps are pretty open at this point. Would I be a fool to take the job? Would I be a fool to pass on it?
