Nomura Graduate Intern

Got a graduate internship offer from Nomura. Anyone knows how their trading business in HK is? I'm holding an ft offer to join a trading desk at a european bank. Should I go for the grad internship or the ft job?

Nomura HK has strong presense in Credit trading. prop desk, and have quite a good risk appetite. Only the prospects consider them inferior to BBs due to brand value, but everyone in the industry knows that Nomura credit trading is one of the best desks in HK

But equities not good. Not even sure they have equities trading desk in HK. but I assume your graduate trading internship would be at the credit desk?

I worked at HK until last year, so just take it as a grain of salt though. 

 

Not sure which desk I will be working with. Heard that the grad internship doesn't have rotations. But indeed they have the best credit trading. For equities, I think they're expanding as they hired more vp level traders for d1 desk this year. So, if I am not that keen to join credit trading, I should not consider nomura as my first choice, correct?
