Hedge Fund vs. Proprietary Trading

What are the most notable points of difference between a quant position at a Hedge Fund, vs at a Proprietary Trading Shop? Specifically, how do they differ along the following dimensions:

(1) Intra-firm mobility
(2) Exit opportunities
(3) Hierarchical structure
(4) Work-life balance
(5) Compensation structure (bonus/base split, starting pay, growth)
(6) Nature of employees (e.g., antisocial, too competitive, cut throat, etc.)

For reference, I'm a sophomore in college right now - I've only recently started to delve into the mechanics of this industry.

 

Consequatur dolorum eaque architecto dolor. Corporis perspiciatis excepturi harum ex temporibus non. Odio laboriosam illo consequatur quis. Sed et tempora placeat qui. Eos quia ipsum rerum quaerat expedita.
