With layoffs and tech crashing, HFTs are reigning supreme and hiring like crazy. So glad I didnt accept any of my 7 FAANGMULASQBT+ offers and joined Two Sigma. Anyone else feel the same way? Is this a going to be a new era with increasing supply of SWEs? DM for referrals, only elite leetcode hard monkeys ex FAANGMULASQBT+ TC: 500k #tech #hft Yoe: 4.5
When they leave YoE out you knows it’s like 10+ 😂
When they work at a 🍌 company, they need to cope somehow. Updated with yoe in post
Lol dude you work in the worst HF. Two sigma is known to be the easiest HF to get into by a long shot. Puh-leaze.
k
What is new?
something that has recently been built, made, discovered, etc.
Health/biotech are ripe for disruption. Tech is the old guard. Becoming the new HPs and IBMs.
Yeah I’m going to go back to using my stone and chisel now that interest rates are high
can you speak louder? I can’t hear you while you’re choking on your own balls
Does Two Sigma really test hard leetcode questions?
Yes
even for quant positions? ai research scientist questions?
I declined 2 sigma offer and joined Amazon.
Really? What are the TCs in both?
Did the same, Amazon matched my TS offer on a cost of living basis TS offer was 470k TC in NYC I live in Austin so Amazon boosted me from 230k to 330k with a two year cash bonus and RSU package. Ended up staying because I work 20 hour weeks and NYC rent is 5k. At this point I would only consider HFT firms in Austin since Amazon seems to be the highest paying tech employer in the city. Google offer was 240k for L4, Apple was 280k for ICT3, Meta was 260k. None would match the dive and save. Screwed for April raises though lmao Shit blind tax 330k TC -> 180k salary, rest RSU/cash bonuses YOE 2.5 SDE2 Considered the top performer of the team with essential domain knowledge, was promoted within 1 year
There are very few people who can solve hard question in 45 mins without seeing it before. Few of them know how to write software, even fewer are great people to work with. So yeah, keep hiring, it will not affect industry or job market.
Its actually not that bad. Quora and Snap were all LC hard as well
trading firms' algorithmic questions are generally about as difficult as big N
How’s wlb compared to Microsoft?
Pretty similar honestly, 9-5 is worst case scenario

You people keep acting like economy never goes down
Ahh the biggest victim in all this. Facebook made the industry what it is today, i have nothing but respect for y’all. Hope zuck brings it back strong 💪🏼
if you are in the marketmaking/hft business, these past few months have been great due to high market volatility. But there are already too many players in hft, is it still so profitable?
