If you had a choice between BB Market Risk (not Quant, just position oversight and limit review) or Quant Trading (algo development) at a MM (think Big 4 Aussie bank i.e. ANZ, Westpac, CBA, NAB). What would you choose and why? And let's say your ultimate goal is to do FO trading.

Isn't this pretty obvious...?
as the other comment suggests...you take the quant trading role...and then after 1-2 years, you will be able to lateral to a BB quant trading role with a salary bump...or possibly to a hedge fund if you have a viable strategy, where you can make the really big bucks.
as above...this should be a no brainer
Yeah, sure but wouldn't it be easier to move internally from Market Risk to FO trading than to move externally from a MM? Ontop of that, isn't your CV more marketable if you have a BB on it and want to move elsewhere into FO?
