Have been at Meta/FB for a year. Doing good, but interested to transition to HFT as that's king in London. 12 YoE, mostly with Java, JavaScript and C++. Looking for SWE positions, not quant. #janestreet, #hrt, #citadel, #citadelsecurities, #optiver, etc.
TC or GTFO
May I ask, how is HFT king in London? Only bc of higher salaries?
Aside from FB, FAANG presence is weak in London. There's a higher variety of strong HFT in London, as it is a finance focused city. As I plan on staying long-term here, I think it's a smart career move. You can of course get high paying jobs in FB and maybe Google/Apple (if they are trying to match your FB offer), but unless you can navigate towards E7 you are likely going to earn more long-term in top HFT.
how do you know that?
Dm me your resume
