Hey all, throwaway to try and maintain some privacy. I have been extremely fortunate to receive offers from both Flow Traders and SIG for their new grad trading roles, but am honestly having a very hard time deciding between the 2 firms and would appreciate any insights from people who may have experience at either firm. Here are the main pro's and con's I've come up with:
Flow Pro's: Loved the culture, small team (faster advancement?), work hard play hard, startup feel, in NYC, feels less cut-throat than SIG
Flow Con's: NYC CoL is high, offer is quite a bit lower than SIG's, less name recognition/prestige
SIG Pro's: Industry leader, pay is much higher (~50%), lower CoL in Philly, more recognition/prestige
SIG Con's: Felt like a bigger corporation ('cog in a machine'), seems like turnover is much higher for first year, less 'fun' than Flow
I am honestly super split, and would appreciate any helpful insights, thanks a lot!
