Offer Advice - Any general insight/advice?

Job search narrowed down to my three best offers (best offer in each industry I am interested in):

-Top 5 prop trading firm offer (Chicago) -BB Asset Backed Securities group offer (New York) -Financial Consulting offer (Chicago)

Any general insight/ advice would be appreciated.

More specifically, I am looking for information on exit opportunities from ABS (and bonus numbers) and prop trading. The consulting offer seems to be the most broad and leaves the door open for movement within consulting and finance as well as MBA. However, the other two are obviously more monetarily rewarding initially.

Thanks to all for any thoughts.

Depending on where you want to go with it?

If IB, I think ABS is best plus you got NY location. if S&T, then prop trading firms will do consulting is ok, but unless it's a top firm I'd go with the other 2.

I'm not sure on the salaries though!

Do what you want not what you can!
