As a side question, can I ask how much experience you have other than your work at said startup? Within a year I'm going to have to make the choice between going the tradition route in tech or joining a high-frequency prop shop. The starting offer seems to be around 130-150k base with 20-80k bonus at the end of the first year (which is implied to scale heavily after the first year, unless things go really poorly).

If you were given the choice, which route would you take?
