Citadel Sec Option Market Making Fundamental Analyst

Recently received an offer from Citadel Sec with the fundamental analyst role under their option market making group. I also have other offer including an IB offer in one of the mid-tier BB(think BAML/CS/Citi), and I also got approached by the HR from Citadel LLC, the hedge fund side, and already went through the first round of the interview. I wonder how this role in Citadel Sec is regarded in general (within company and outside opinion). How should I choose. Thank you so much!!!

Congrats! I’d say whatever you choose, it’s great options. What’s your background btw? I see the French username, are you a Polytechnique or Centrale graduate?
