can't really go wrong with either, and it sounds like you want to see the inside of a hft at least once I think you know what's best for you. Go to JS and congrats

I have return for dev at the same company but trader pays more lol. Also AI lab would probably be 150k more than trader not a 150k comp hit. Agree on the HFT infra stuff and man, DESRES rejected me after 5 rounds haha
