Offer dilemma for London-based long-term internships.
**Goal**: Physical Trader (3-5 year horizon).
**Profile**: MSc in Finance, Python skills.
**Option A: Middle Office intern at top tier physical trading house**
• Pros: deep physical knowledge, surrounding by risk takers.
• Cons: Middle Office stigma. Need to fight for the move.
# Option B: Sales intern at Tier 2 Global Bank
• Pros: "Front Office" on CV immediately. Safe, corporate path.
• Cons: Safe and zero coding. Rapid skill atrophy, not a risk-taker position.
# Question:
Is the "safe" FO title at a mid-tier bank a trap? I feel like the Tier 1 MO role offers the actual skillset I need to trade, even if the starting title is "worse". Thoughts?
