Which offer (urgent!!)

Offer 1 or Offer 2?

Which offer would you take, assuming these are the only offers you got?

1.)You could end up in quant. research, or you could end up in software development (shitty back office-type job) (only top 30% gets in QR). plus, it's a "revolving door".

2.)The other offer is for a quant/ researcher at a "boutique-scaled" HF. It's safer, but much less prestigious.
