Pros

Good company reputation within industry, exit opportunities, can potentially have lots of different options in terms of products to trade

Cons

Very saturated, hard to advance. Non-compete makes it hard to leave (though this is fairly standard in the industry). Bonus cap for first few years. Any remotely profitable desk is way overstaffed.

Pros

DRW values my input and ideas, and allows me to explore new ways of conducting surveillance. The firm is not afraid to try things that may not work out in the end.

Cons

You have to have the confidence to push forward. People will help and guide you, but you must initiate the activity.
