Hey guys.. I recently got offers to work on the electronic trading desks at Barclays and Citi. Specifically, I'd be involved with the firms' ET platforms - BARX (Barclays) and Velocity (Citi). I know these positions are not your run of the mill s&t gigs, but I see huge upside for this area of the business and am excited about the opportunities.
Does anyone have any insight into barx/velocity? I think barx is the top dog right now. But I'm also aware that velocity is still a young business and is growing at a much faster rate than barx. I'm also fairly certain that the head of Citi Velocity ran Lehman Live before the collapse - and then Barclays Live before it combined with Barx...
Any advice ?
I am an avid user of both, primarily for analytics...
Historically, Barx has always been a leader, but they have slowed down a lot recently and their support for the product has felt a little, how to say it, haphazard for the past few years. In contrast, Velocity is going from strength to strength. So, if you're willing to extrapolate from that,..
Appreciate the response. Definitely agree, got the vibe that Citi is much more invested in improving velocity than Barclays is with barx. How would you say velocity compares to autobahn (if you've used it)?
