500k @ Citadel

6 YoE. Is 500k TC @ Citadel likely? Hours be damned, I have a mortgage and private school tuition I need to pay. Assuming NYC office. No offer yet, but for this price, I will go above and beyond my limit.

Congratulations. Where is it?

Seems unlikely. What are your credentials?

Bloomberg the1 Sep 13, 2019

I also think this seems unlikely

I don't believe citadel can match FANG salaries. Why do you say it has to be able to?

OpenDoor NJFo27 Sep 12, 2019

Lol keeping it real. I'd imagine it probably depends on the type of position you are going after

Citadel is mostly in Chicago but you don’t need half a million to have a decent lifestyle in chi city so sf or nyc most likely

Citadel idiosync Feb 7, 2020

Not true. Large presence in both NY and Chicago. There were actually more hires in NYC in 2019 than Chicago and this trend will likely continue indefinitely.

Only if you read all the books in the Citadel

$500k in Chicago vs NYC are two completely different offers. Which location?

Akuna Capital 3-SAT Sep 12, 2019

yes with conpeting offers

My friend got a 300k tc at citadel as a new grad. It's crazy

Microsoft Vbsm66 Sep 12, 2019

What was the offer breakdown?

Microsoft kayakin Sep 12, 2019

200k base 100k signon and 100k something else don't remember total would be 400k but I guess signon doesn't count towards TC

Most likely. Depends on your role, but my new grad offer was 400k at a company in the quant space (for QR though), and I know Citadel would've been around there if I'd stuck it out.

What are your credentials? PhD from an Ivy League? Thanks
