But if you WERE to begin in the US, where would you be looking at? Obviously FICC instead of Equities, but after that?...

Why is FICC the obvious choice over equities? It really depends on your interests and the type of markets you enjoy following.

Because the technology-takeover is less advanced in FICC.

Might as well phrase this as: for FICC, where?
