Hi everyone,
I have a question about which entry level job could help me grow my career. Would it be better to work as a software engineer at a large tech firm (think Google, Amazon, Apple, etc.) and then springboard into quantitative finance (which is the ultimate goal), or work in technology in finance (think JPMorgan, Goldman, etc.) and then springboard into quant finance.
Please let me know your thoughts! This may seem obvious, but I think the technical challenges I could potentially face at the tech firms could look more attractive to potential future employers. But then again, I would get great experience working for a bank that is actually relevant to the industry.
