SIG, DRW or RBS for trading (intern)
I have received offers from DRW Trading and Susquehanna (in philadelphia) for summer internship as options trader intern. I have also received an offer from RBS for S&T...and I really do not know how to decide. I unfortunately did not get any offers from the BBs. The two prop trading firms are good and trade in options in multiple markets but RBS has a more recognizable name and might be a better launching point. I really do not know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
DRW and SIG for sure. DRW > most BBs.
Yes I have heard that from so many people. My only concern is that it is you do not get enough macro market experience. I'm a math/econ major and am extremely interested in the macro HFs like Moore and Tudor. Would prop trading at DRW or SIG for several years be a better learning experience and could I develop the necessary skill set to be PM at a top HF than RBS S&T?
Go where you like the people. Those jobs are different enough that you can make a decision. I am currently 90% close to accepting an offer at a bank which by reputation most wouldn't choose over BBs, but I like the people and the expansion of the area I am joining.
SIG, it will look the best on your resume next year for FT
SIG is a good firm in terms of smaller firms, but interns I've talked to said they hated the Philly branch. If you have any social aspect at all it will not be enjoyable.
I have two friends who interned at SIG and thought it was really fun. I think it will all come down to your own taste.
