Got a 450k offer without negotiation. Should I ask for more? I put 450 as my expected comp at the first place and don’t have a competing offer. Undergrad 1-3yoe Tc 280k #citadel
Considering boomeranging back to G after recent events... or going to Citadel. The new team at G would be really good in AI, just no room for L6 any time soon. Concerned about WLB and constantly looking over my shoulder at Citadel. Numbers approx based on conversations, should get the verbal offer ...Read more
Got an offer from E4 Meta and an offer from Citadel (NXT) The numbers in the poll are without the sign on bonus. #meta #citadel #google #hrt
Meta wants to hire me back so I continue with the same package I had before layoffs at same level I am feeling a lot of performance pressure w.r.t. citadel one. Perhaps because I have < 3 YoE? Will that be a good career move? Anyone at Citadel/Jane Street confirm how the WLB is in those firms?
6 YoE. Is 500k TC @ Citadel likely? Hours be damned, I have a mortgage and private school tuition I need to pay. Assuming NYC office. No offer yet, but for this price, I will go above and beyond my limit.
I had an interview a couple of weeks ago for a new grad swe position at Citadel. They kept bashing me with a whole bunch of conceptual and theoretical CS questions. It felt like they were attacking me and I couldn't control my emotions so i let it out. Do I have a chance of getting an offer consider...Read more
I’ve got contacted by a recruiter to start Citadel SDE interview process, I’m told there will be a phone interview round, then on-site full loop. Anyone interviewed with Citadel before? What questions do they ask? Do they have system design? Behavior questions? Are coding questions just leetcode?
Does one pay more than the other? Are they equally prestigious? Which has worse WLB? Are they in the same office building? Have interview offers with both but recruiter said I need to pick one. Follow up: Ended up picking Securities
I have been on Blind for several months now and have been surprised about how polarizing some of the reviews of Citadel are. I work on the hedge fund side of the business as an SWE and have been here for several years. No one asked me to write this and it is just me being honest about why I work at ...Read more
Currently at Google. Considering an offer from Citadel for a lot more TC. However, I like my WLB at Google. Manager is very hands off, and I can frequently enjoy a long weekend or afternoon without clocking vacation time. How’s life at Citadel? TC 250, Citadel offer is for 400k
What’s the difference between the three orgs? Is the pay range for a SWE the same for all three?
Code quality is shit 1. thousands of lines of code in single method 2. CTO does not knowing what he is doing, only capable of yelling at people to improve the performance 3. you look at Google's engineering code practice, reverse every meaning of it, and thats what you see at Citadel Some interest...Read more

I declined my Google offer and decided to join Citadel. However, I was just told my Citadel offer was revoked. HR implied it was their new CTO Umesh Subramanian and there was nothing he could do. I am not sure if Google can reconsider me since they sounded very unhappy when I declined their offer an...Read more
Got an offer at citsec for 1.2M. I've heard a lot about the culture and wlb at citadel and I'm not sure if it's worth it to make the transition. My wlb is pretty good right now and the tc is decent for what I do. Do I stay or hop over to work for Uncle Ken? Update: I've decided to stay after levera...Read more
What are the hours per week actually like at Citadel for a software engineer? EDIT: should be 40-49. would really appreciate any group recommendations
Hi, recently received an SWE offer in Citadel - Post Trade Engineering. It seems to be a more back-office department. 1. How easy is it to change the team into something more front-office after some time? 2. How easy is it to transition from SWE to QD/QR/QT? 3. How easy is it to transition from Cit...Read more
