FX Vol vs. Non-vol Rates

How do these desks compare in terms of automation risk, HF exits, bonus potential, prestige etc.? The vol exposure from FX vol seems interesting, but non-vol rates seems like a common path for HF exits. Does this differ between NYC and Europe/London?

Fx vol is much less automated then g10 govies/irs but also a more niche desk with lower headcount. Probality of an offer from both is negligible…so if you’re on an internship etc focus on whatever you like best
