Firms with a Derivatives Group?

Which IB & HF firms have a derivatives group/desk in NYC? I'm a recent grad most interested in working in derivatives markets, but want to combine a list of firms with at least a decent reputation... i.e. not DB haha.... but firms similar to Jefferies, SG, Citadel, etc.

Despite memes, DB remains a very respectable name in finance and FICC (derivatives and not) in particular.

I would also suggest you clear your mind on what you want to do. Trading? Sales? (on the market side) or "Solutions" (more on the IB side)? All BBs have these desks, as well as other larger institutions.
