Goldman Sachs vs Citadel Securities

Have an offer on the table from GS and likely to get one from Citadel Securities too. Both would be in NYC. TC offer for GS is 190k (5 years industry experience on the tech/support side). Citadel offer might be for a little bit more. Which firm has less prop tech and more room for growth? 

GS role is fixed income systematic market making support role while the Citadel Sec role is a trading technology production engineer role
