Was fortunate enough to be able to land an offer for these two roles. What is a better career move?
JS is JS with its prestige, culture, and smart people
QRT has seen a lot of growth and excitement in the past couple of years and the role seems to be more interesting
QRT offered slightly better TC. FYI, I have about 3 YOE at a sell side BB

quant dev > TDO
The specific role I have at Qube itself is the less sexier subset of QD but still very interesting. I guess it is possible to internally explore later. Is TDO really a dead one role like many people said?
quant dev is still a front office/markets facing/ revenue/ whatever u want to call it - role while TDO is not.
QD - QR/T is possible but i doubt jane allows TDO - QT
did you mean QD/QR is still a possible transition from TDO? I guess rejecting a name like JS is veru difficult
No, he said that he doubts Jane allows TDO to move into QT. You're not getting exposed to the renowned culture/smart coworkers of JS in a non-front office role. Role relevance matters a more than just the firm's branding e.g. which would you rather work at, UBS S&T or Goldman Sachs Treasury/Trade Compliance? Goldman's obviously a "better brand"... but nobody who wants to hire a trader will care about some middle/back office drone just because they had a Goldman email signature. Companies are famous for their front office. Everything else is dead end/going to pigeon hole you away from the front office roles and make it that much harder to get to them in the future.
