Reached final interview one of {IMC, DRW, Optiver} in Chicago. Is it worth doing an internship there or doing a return internship at FB? I'm worried about the prop trading shops having worse WLB or TC not catching up as a software engineer after a couple years, whereas at FB I could try to quickly make E5 especially as a returning intern. Intern TC is obviously better at the prop shop, but I think after a few years full-time FB might be better. I could also do the prop shop and then go back to tech afterward perhaps if I don't like it. #facebook #imc #drw #optiver #trading #tradingtech #intern
It’s only a few months. See what it’s like at the prop shop and decide if the reward is worth the WLB. You’ll be in a better position to choose bw the two industries later when you are looking for a full time job. Fwiw, the TC upside is better at IMC and Optiver (I don’t know a lot about what DRW offers)
OP will be giving up the FB full time return offer though. Generally 2x interns will be able to get hefty sign on
OP’s going for an internship. Not a return job offer.
Try trading. If it doesn’t work well for you, you can always go back. It’s just an internship.
Can I dm you?
Why not take a semester off and do both? I thought FB was pretty flexible with internship dates
Get fb return offer and interview wherever you want full time
