Where should I work?

I am an investment banking analyst right now. I want to do some form of trading (equity or options). Deal making at an investment bank is too slow a process for me.

I have no interest in doing a HF with "deep/fundamental" investment thesis where I spend months doing due diligence on a potential target. That is exactly what I am trying to avoid.
