Hey Y'all,
Some advice would be helpful. I'm a sophomore math and finance major at a nontarget top 50 UG southern school. I have 2 remote offers for this semester and need to decide in the next day or so. One is a 500M portfolio VC based in LA that has recently started a crypto HF. I interned last semester and liked the people and may be able to turn it into a summer internship. The second is a 10-15 billion HF based in NYC. Which one would you choose?

What's your end game?
Unsure currently. Narrowed it down to S and T, VC, or PE.
Unless you are deadset on joining the crypto group FT (which I wouldn't recommend but its your life), take the NYC offer.
Wouldn't trust a vcfund that starts a crypto fund. NYC is also 20-25x more aum. and its new york which is the finance capital of the world sooooooooooo
The main draw of the VC is I know the people and like them/ may be able to get a summer offer. The crypto HF has a 600% return so far, but cryto is wonky so it may not be stable. Thanks for the response
Forget about crypto. I'd take the NY one.
thanks
NY
NYC HF, the skills are more transferable than the what's hot at the moment/ speculation of crypto.
bold call on the username.
