Moreover, we don't even know what you're actually interested in doing...\n\nBroadly speaking, given you're in college, sounds like offer 2 is the better bet for you. An analyst position will give you solid experience for whatever role you want to take down the road, including brokerage. If you take a brokerage position right off the bat and don't move any product you could be two to three years out with no money and no experience that anyone will care about. That being said, there are absolutely go-getters who grind their ass off the first few years making calls and connections and can set themselves up for the long run.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "i4xdjo1", "text": "Remote is a bit subjective.
