Best paid SWE jobs in NYC?

Nov 18, 2019 14 Comments

Who pays the best? I'm looking at Glassdoor numbers but things seem pretty much capped at $200k unless you relocate? Am I looking at it the wrong way?

  • Many high paying jobs in NYC are in HFT/hedge funds and their compensation structures are different. Bonus can be 50% or much more of the base salary. Since Glassdoor uses h1b data as their seed data (to attract posting), base salary cannot proper reflect the true compensation. Some hedge funds/HFT can afford a lot, but they may keep the base salary low. I know some are ridiculous. Talk to hunters and they may help you. Just be sure don’t give them full resume until you trust that hunter. Some idiot hunters will submit your resume everywhere and that will ruin you chance.

    Trading companies like citadel, jane street, 2 sigma and any of the big tech companies pay 250k+ for 5 YOE no problem on NYC.

    Glassdoor doesnt remove entries for 10 years ago, so it's numbers are way on the low side due to the huge pay increases of the last 10 years.
