Options Trading Firms - Please Advise

Hello all,

I'm writing this post because I'm interested in finding a list of options trading firms in New York, and secondarily, other cities in the US.

Long story short, I worked for 2 years at one of the big name options trading firms (think SIG/Citadel/Jane Street/Optiver). The company and I have parted ways and I am in need of finding a new place to work.

I would very much like to work in New York.

Could someone assist and list some of the big names, and preferably some smaller names?

Hedge funds or Prop Trading is fine.

Right now I have Jane Street SIG Citadel Optiver IMC HRT Tower Jump Spot Flow Volant Five Rings Virtu/KCG CTC Wolverine Teza Flow

Thank you for your help.
