Execution Trader at IMC/Flow/Optiver

Just wondering if anybody can share some insight about being an execution trader at one of the firms above. I am currently in the interview process for a part-time job in their execution trading team. I am pretty sure that I do not want end up being an execution trader, but it might be a great opportunity to get to know the company and, perhaps, move internally to a more interesting desk. In the end, I am not sure if I should sacrifice my social life for this part-time job.
