OMM shop vs Trading at a Bank

I have an offer from a Chicago Based OMM shop for Derivatives Trader role and I am debating whether I should apply to Bank for trading roles or not.I found this list on one of the previous discussions dated 2 years back. Please let me know if something has changed.I have an offer from a firm in the tier 3 list. Tier 1: CitSec, Optiver, Jane Street, JumpTier 2: DRW, SIG, CTC, Akuna, Flow, Five RingsTier 3: Group One, Maven, Peak6, TMG, Belvedere

 

The propshops you mentioned for Tier3 are very solid shops although the base salary is bit lower than Tier2 shops.(around 90k to 110k) I would take the prop shops offer. base salary really doens't matter if you are interested in trading, and since you would be in Chicago, wouldn't have to worry about the COL due to low base salary.
