Offer Compare: Bridgewater/Top BB/Prop Shop
Hi there, I have got 3 offers from the companies mentioned above and I have 2 weeks to decide which to choose.
my background: in my late 20s, front/mid office quant at a big bank
my goal: to be a portfolio manager on the buyside or in a management level position in S&T on the sell side in my 30/40s
offers:
Bridgewater portfolio associate: most prestigious brand out of the three, job function is to optimize portfolio allocation, but the job sounds mid-officey and I'm afraid I will be further away from my end goal if stay in this job for too long
BB front office quant: I like the product this job covers, good brand name, will have a good chance lateraling to big buyside hf/hft, but it's still a sell side quant position(meaning it doesn't have enough market exposure as traders, will spend most of time debugging/coding)
prop shop: junior trader, job function is very close to my future career goal, has a rotational program(discretionary/quant trading), but job stability could be low and not prestigious enough to lateral to bigger shops
If you want to optimize optionality, go with the BB quant and then if you want you can go the IB route or prop trading route.
