Hey Guys,
I read recently that Getco is kind of on the down and I remember that in 2009 this was THE place to go work (or whatever, up there). Anyhow I decided to do a PhD rather than accept a job with them back then and now I am thinking of getting back to finance after I graduate. Last summer I interned at Credit Suisse QSI and it was great but I thought it would be better to try for other experiences this summer.
Anyhow, I have a few intern offers: Tower, Allston, 2 @ Morgan (Strats and Modeling - Credit Strats or Securitized Products), AMEX (Data Science team within RIM) and am waiting on a startup called BirchBox for a Data Science role. I gave up CS QSI but I recommend it highly (FYI expect to work 12+ hours a day though).
I have until next week to decide.
I'm learning towards Tower, all offers are ballpark the same money, but I'm just wondering: is HF trading kind of dead and long term which of the above do you think would be best? Do you think this is just a down flow in the industry now? From what I understand Tower is good, but I don't want to end up at Getco v2.0, so I figured I would ask around.
Much thanks!
