Message: Hi, I have trouble deciding between a fixed income trading offer at a BB firm (for their Asia office) or do "credit strategies" (both trading & research) at a very top hedge fund. Please share your wisdom on medium-term (say 5 years)career growth potential, monetary reward, learning potential, job stress, job security ... etc! My concerns with the S&T position is that it's non-USA. Would I have difficulty in case I want to come back to the States after a few years?? On the other hand, would I be limited to "hedge fund" only if I start out in this industry? what would be my exit strategy if I want a career change?? At this point, I don't know what I want to do long-term, being a trader or hedge fund manager both seems very fun ... Thank You!!
