HFT vs Product based offer

Should I take a lower pay (25 lpa + unknown bonus) offer at a middle ranked hft rather then a chance at a higher pay (35-40 lpa) offer at a well known product company but where I may be given any tech domain?

Personally I really like low level coding and hft. Also have heard of someone getting 10 lakh bonus at that hft. I should also be able to switch to better paying HFTs in future. The offer also includes full time.

The product based company only offers 6 month right now but even that stipend is more than twice of the hft.

I feel product based firms give you an all round skill development. But as you mentioned your interests, you can go for HFT. And since you are fresher, you can dedicate more time to work which HFT firms do require.

Not irage, but I think a similar level company. Also seeing that you are in alpha grep is it possible to switch from these smaller hft to top tier HFTs?

Full-time offer from HFT over 6 month internship offer from the other one any day in this job market.

If you're interested in HFT, then you should definitely try it atleast once.

On the flipside, you can always explore HFTs even if you work in a product-based company. It will just be a little bit harder to land that role compared to now (experienced interviews are harder than fresher interviews).
