Step 0: Citadel pays Robinhood for order flow. Citadel gets to see RH's orders a few milliseconds before they're filled. Citadel may choose to front-run some of those trades. Step 1: RH's customers and WallStreetBets start manipulating $GME. This is happening in the open. Officially, they're manip...Read more
There's a strong rumor that citadel Securities might go public after recent funding. So I'm curious if current employees have any equity or options?
RobinHood monetizes by selling transactional data to Citadel and Citadel is desperately trying to bail out Melvin because of their 120% short position in GME getting wrecked by /r/wallstreetbets. It appears that RH shut down BUYing GME (and other) stocks, even with cash, and hid it from their searc...Read more

Meta TC is 450K, about half of that being stock. Say same-ish eng level (E5) and work location of NY. Not Citadel Seurities but vanilla Citadel btw. One way I'm thinking about this: If 50~60hr work week is the norm at Citadel and 40~50 at Meta, a 20% difference, then 30%+ would result in a signfica...Read more

Alright ladies, listen up. I just spent the whole day going down the rabbit hole of this whole GME / RH / Citadel debacle. This is going to be long, so you might want to lie down and suck on your pacifier because this one would take quite awhile. Let me start off by saying that I have a smooth brai...Read more
Most SWEs in tech have inflated TCs due to stock appreciation. What about SWEs at Jump, Citadel, Tower, HRT, Jane Street? Do their TCs benefit from the all time high stock market?
In case you were out of the loop GME is issuing a 4:1 stock dividend, record date July 18th. Shorts are going to get squeezed hard, grab your tickets before the rocket leaves. Goodbye Citadel, hugs & kisses #robinhood #citadel #gamestop #stockmarket

My TC right now is 450-500 (depending on stock price). I've always wanted to work at a hedge fund, despite the WLB. Will Citadel be willing to beat my current TC assuming I interview reasonably well? #citadel #swe

Checking levels.fyi, it seems Dropbox IC3 is 343k. It is mapped lower than G/F L5, but it pays more. Is it higher because of lower chance of stock value increase? Are there other non FANG companies that pays more than them (other than Citadel & co)?
