quantitative research (CIB - Front Office)
Pros: There is little chance of getting fired
Cons: Quantitative Research has been diluted by developers that create their own job security (Athena trying to go live in swaps for 4 years ?). 
Since quantitative research moved to risk, there is little incentive to do front office work (and hours) since none of it translate into compensation and the work is repetitive (migrating systems mostly). 
Hiring below par new talent (not even top 50 masters programs anymore). 
Career mobility extremely hard and badly seen (you will take a 50% pay-cut)
