How do the two compare? WLB? Which is better for SWE / Data Science personal growth? Anyone have numbers on how comp grows?

Securities better for SWE roles in my opinion. Software generally has a stronger presence in securities since PnL much more directly comes from algos/infrastructure. Culture is also more “tech” which can mean better WLB and work environment
Thanks for the helpful post. How does the compensation compare? Career growth? Do folks ever transfer?
Transfers happen, although it’s generally more common to transfer within the business than across businesses. Compensation is generally similar, although comp growth is likely higher in securities due to the higher impact of SWE.
