Citadel is a really awful company to work for. You will be chewed up and spit out in less than a year. I’ve never met anyone that enjoys being there.

How is sydney better than london?

The Trade Desk NVyu10 Mar 22

better weather ☀️ although that’s debatable, the consensus is London weather is shitty. Australia is generally more laid back as compared to the UK. In terms of work-life balance, the UK follows the US approach. After living in the UK, I think if I had to do it again, I would go to Australia. Most tech companies also hire in Australia. You can always switch if you don't like Citadel.
