Trillium Trading vs Citi Ops

Assuming I am interested in trading. Which of these offers would you suggest I choose?

I realize that the Citi offer is a safer bet (in terms of brand awareness, not job security), but the Trillium position is much more relevant with what I want to do.

In other words, does the small probability of moving from Citi Ops on up to front office outweigh the probability of succeeding at Trillium?

Citi 60k + 10k signing Trillium 24k + performance

Any advice is appreciated.

if ur young, take a risk. of course, working for Citi is risky in and of itself.

dont worry about the "bad" job market and bs. take trillium and see where it takes you. at the end of the day, worst case scenario, you'll be broke. unless you're in debt.

We're about to enter a Great Depression. Don't you want a president who's already dressed for it?
