Trading firms vs Trading at a BB bank?

Hey all,

I have an offer from both a trading firm (won’t give the name but think the likes of Jane Street, Susquehanna or Two Sigma), as well as a trader role at a BB bank.

The pay is roughly equivalent in both for starting salary. What are the pros and cons of each going down the road?

Thanks
