Radix Trading vs Five Rings capital

Have an offer for a Quantitative Researcher at both these places, trying to make up my mind. Any input on either? Comp is very similar with Five Rings offering a spread and Radix a fix bonus roughly equal to the FR median for the first year. A lot of people seem to label Five Rings "click trading" and Radix as "HFT". Any thoughts on prospects of the either?

Hey vkir, what a lonely thread. I'm here since nobody responded ...so maybe one of these discussions will help:

More suggestions...

Five rings is very much trader-led. Radix is research-led (don't think they even have traders). Join radix

 

Radix does middle freq systematic trading. They run a pod model but have a large central team being led by the founder Ben Blander which would be what most junior hires landing. Making good money from what I hear
