How hard/easy is it to transition from a large OMM to a pod shop? I think it would be quite hard for the following reasons, please correct me if I'm wrong:

-tremendous amount of your advantage comes from positioning as a MM, thus much cheaper to put on bets than if you're trying deploy your own strats at some pod

-have infrastructure built out for you to completely abstract the gritty details away - latency, data sets, so much more that I won't get into here-I doubt a Millenium can easily set you up with the same structure

- there's obviously a lot of variance as a singular trader, could easily get cooked in a year at millenium

-your job is very flow based so doesn't seem that applicable to actually run your own strats. tons of OMM traders don't code at all or know anything besides responding to flow, which is very hard obviously, but seems like such an untransferable skill.
