Decide Between...

I might have an opportunity with a very well-know huge Asset Management firm (where I will be doing some academic research related work), and a secretive HFT firm. Which one should I go for?

I'm trying to apply for sell-side S&T for full-time.

Inputs appreciated!

I hope you realize this is virtually no information to work with, right? Unless you have more to tell us, there is nothing that can be said justifiably, except for by those who have outsized biases for or against asset management or high frequency trading.
