What firm are you at now? I’ll be moving on from FB this year and I’m looking at HFT firms.

At least 4-5 people so far have more than tripled their TC in a single jump , that’s wow! Can they explain please ?

My guess is low COL to high COL, or switching from a non tech field into tech.

the only reason my TC jump so high is because the previous TC is totally shit plus I was jumping to a good company ... it’s still within the normal price range, nothing too special

2016 75->110->160 2018 160->180->200 2019 200->300 Only counting cash. Each increment is a job change.

Axtria bD5ks1 Aug 18, 2019

You changed 2 jobs in 2016 and 2018 each?

BYTON cJKu57 Aug 18, 2019

Yea. Second job change in 2016 was actually a pay cut. Moved from low CoL(110) to bay area (160). Second job change in 2018 was cuz got laid off at a startup

Jump to FANG, I nearly doubled my TC doing so. That's why it's such a big deal to do so
