DRW NYC vs. BAML NYC vs. Citadel Chicago

What do you guys think?

DRW NYC would be commodities.
BAML NYC would be mortgages.
Citadel Chicago would be Options market-making.

Trying to make a decision. I feel like going to BAML keeps my options open the most for the future, but I'm pretty set on trading and think that's what I want to be doing with my life.

@ trader 8 - Yes I went to the superday in Chicago last week. I heard back a few days ago. I am not sure who got the Chicago office offers, although to the best of my knowledge they are still notifying people of acceptances. My friend who interviewed for the NYC office didn't get it but they told him to go back this weekend for the next superday to interview for the Chicago office.

Good luck.
