I was offered two internships: one as a capital quant (monitoring risks, regulatory capital requirements, etc) and one as a desk quant (derivatives pricing), and I am having a hard time deciding between the two.
Can someone tell me the difference in pay/exit opps of the two? And how hard would it be to move from one to another? I know before desk quants were compensated higher and considered higher "prestige" but a lot changed since 2008. What are your opinions on these opportunities given that I like the firm more for the capital quant position?
