Hello WSO, This is my first post!
I am facing a decision where I do not understand the repercussions.
Electronic Trading Credit Research - BB (Quant role) Electronic Trading Equities Research - BB (Quant role) Electronic Trading FX Strategist - BB (FO role)
I do not understand the repercussion of taking a quant research role in a particular market vs going into front office directly in another market.
Probably the compensation will vary a lot (more bonus in FO), but are these markets so different?
If you ask whats my ideal career progression? I would love to become a risk taker and I truly do not understand which of these paths could lead to a better risk taking position.
My 2 cents on each: eCredit : The Credit markets are interesting, very quant in nature, and doing MM/eTrading there could be interesting, however, as this is a research role, there is the Chinese wall where I would work with traders but not be one (yet).
eEquities: I believe it is the most interesting market, since it has exit opportunities to HFs (mostly quant HFs which all my interest lies). However, still it is research.
eFX: This is actually a FO role, so being part of the FO team and a strategist I could gain trading experience but don't know how much I would gain from this to transition into a more risk tacking position. This is more HFT oriented but also MM.
I would appreciate a lot your inputs!
