Damn, hell of a good job man! It is my dream to work in either of those fields. Am in a mediocre cap mkts group rn, trying to see how I can shift to smth like that. But regarding your questions, you need to give the forum some more details abt the offers, otherwise it is v difficult to chime in w something helpful.
