Do people know who PDT Partners in big tech? How would it look on a resume compared to FAANG or well-known startups? Would I be forever banished to the concrete jungle that is finance?
they’re a meh shop. pay and talent is substantially below other competing shops. Their culture is also a bunch of smiling faces with hidden toxicity
Have you worked at PDT?
Ex-Meta and rejected by PDT?
It'll look good to people in the know (i.e basically most of the finance industry/other trading firms) but frankly I'd be very surprised if the average bay area recruiter, SWE, or hiring manager knows what it is. I worked at another trading firm that is also "good" (as in people on Blind and people in the know would think its pretty good) but I don't think a single tech recruiter or tech SWE I talked to knew what it was during interviews, and those are the people ultimately looking at your resume, not the Blind tryhards participating in your poll. It'll definitetly help your resume if you want to switch to another quant firm though, and as a added bonus it might look good to top unicorns since they frequently hire new grad talent from quant firms and tend to have more dialed in recruiters.
