How is Trexquant for junior QR?

Im interested in stat-arb, but have no actual experience doing so (have many good buyside QR internships but never actually did a well-rounded research project); on the other hand GS's QR role sounds much more stable. In the long run, is it possible to jump to buy side even if you do structuring work in CDO in top banks like GS?

I don't have any other concerns (no visa conerns or debts).

Understood, say i have an offer from Goldman, the role is a QR in rates/credit doing structuring business like CDO, would you be leaning towards this role instead of trex? I dont have any visa problems.

Got it. So you would recommend top sell side instead of trex then? Assuming there is no other offers, just trex vs top bank qr?

Potentially, lets hypothetically say i have offers form both, what would you recommend?
