Hi all, After around 5 years in FAANG, I'm thinking of giving HFTs a try. I've always been intrigued. What TC can a SWE with 5yoe expect in London? I'm talking top tier Jane Street, HRT etc. I'm based right now in Zurich. So if anyone has any ideas on what i might expect with CitSec in Switzerland...Read more
Does anyone know the TC for SWE new grad hedge funds and trading companies in London/Dublin? Some of them have no data on levels for new grad, such as DRW, GSA Capital, XTX Markets, Maven Securities, Virtu, SIG. Any other smaller hedge funds or lesser known companies would be appreciated. #hft #lond...Read more
Hello everyone, What's a reasonable TC for a L4 SWE-SRE at Google with 3 YoE targeting to get into HFTs. Location : New York City Thank you in advance for your valuable insights. TC: 250k #hfts #interview #tc
What is the highest base you have seen in a HFT or quant non-pm role? I am guessing it tops around 500k including signon.
I understand they could be quants but a lot of these people just have a bachelor's which makes me think they're SWEs at trading firms. For example: https://www.levels.fyi/company/Hudson-River-Trading/salaries/Software-Engineer/ There is a guy with 2 years of experience with a bachelors degree maki...Read more

A quick LinkedIn search doesn't show many Indian people working there so wanted to know. Tc : 180k
Everywhere I go from FAANG to startups, I hear engineers talking about moving into high frequency trading. Could this have any impact on the tech industry? Is this because more people have come to learn about HFT salaries from levels recently? Or is this a really old thing that you guys have seen?
I work in high frequency trading for the bank. I've been in this industry for about 5 years. Is 270 k an ok salary ? I feel like I've been low balled.
Hi, I'm in offer stage of citadel, can someone tell what salary can they offer? Tc: 80 lpa Yor: 6 #hft #citadel
I keep getting pinged by randos on LinkedIn for Jane Street and other HFTs with sweet salaries ($500-1mm). Salaries are legit even if they’re quoting the high end, but is this how HFTs do recruiting? Or are they just opportunistic and I’m getting bamboozled?
Have a FB offer in hand for 250k first year then 180k. HFT offers for new grad are going for 450k first year (all cash) Is it worth going through the interview process again? Does career progression at FAANG outweigh the insane starting salary at HFT? #faang #hft #newgrad
I’m planning switching to a tech role in a hedgefund/hft company. I heard that traders at hedgefund/hft get huge bonus, but how about tech roles in the same company? Is it common to get >12 months bonus? Meanwhile, what’s the salary difference between SWE and SRE in hedgefund/hft? Appreciate yo
There are some coworkers with big name schools like Berkeley, UW, UIUC, UCLA, GT that I see working at FAANG but with a school like that you could walk into any startup or HFT and make double the FAANG salary. I’ve also seen Ivy grads albeit a lower rate than the aforementioned schools. For referen...Read more

Any idea about salary of Algo capital and tower research capital for Swe and Hardware in India for senior. Didn't get any good data points. Also how's the culture at both? edit:- Algo capital seems to be a recruitment company for HFT , not an HFT company itself. #algocapital #towerresearchcapital
