Got a reachout from a recruiter who claims that SIG can beat Meta for comp. I’m at 280k which seems substantially higher than what I see for SWEs at SIG from online data points, though those are somewhat out of date. What’s the comp like for SWEs at SIG now? Are they still second class citizens and treated like the lackeys for traders? #susquehanna #sig

Too big to be stolen
SIG has a strong tech culture and the business tries to be inclusive in all aspects! You’ll enjoy working esp in the Bala office. The comp is team dependent but for stat arb or another front office role, they will pay well. But I am not sure if they have a concept of refreshers anymore to keep you happy forever.
Good to hear. The positions they are trying to fill are in NYC though (or at least I’m only willing to interview for NYC). Do SWEs on front office teams get paid more?
That is the norm with most trading firms - your work on reference data team will get lesser comp than when working with traders and pleasing them with your tech wizardry. If this is your first foray into finance, take their offer as it is a well known firm.
