Career in Trading

I've been offered a position at Prop company in Chicago. They offer a decent salary, but most money is made via commissions.

I've been also offered a position in portfolio management. Which has about a 10% higher base salary, but not too much room for added bonus.

I am interested in both, and I believe I've the skills and desire to do both.

What is your opinion?

Thanks.
 
You say the first job is with a prop firm. Most prop firms don't give you a salary and THEY make commissions off of YOU. What you get is professional leverage [OPM] to trade.

Can you elaborate more on the first posn. Maybe you should post in the Prop trading area.
 
I know most prop firms do not, but this one does. It recruits talent and pays them to become their traders. (for example, like New York First Securities).

Thanks
