How would you rank these desks (and why)?

  1. Equities

  2. Rates
    • Sales
    • Trading
  3. FX
    • Sales
    • Trading
  4. Corporate Solutions

  5. Credit

I'm interested to how they compare in terms of career prospects, compensation, work-life balance, interest, challenge etc. 

Thanks guys
