I’d prefer quant/ML engineer/data scientist at either.
Pure software engineering is myopic and boring. Looking for bugs in huge codebases is not fun at all. Banking is way too sweaty, people weren’t meant to work that many hours.
With any of the three roles I listed, which overlap in many ways, you get the best of both worlds. You get to use technical skills to drive impactful decision making. Pay and hours are decent as well.
