Comp in fintech and hedge funds
What comp can a senior software engineer (5-6years of experience) expect at a hedge fund like Two sigma or Jane street? Also how much work life balance can I expect? tc 230
If you work in the front office (quant dev, algo strategy dev, HFT dev, etc) then the sky is the limit. If you work in infrastructure, tooling or internal software then you'll make about as much as FAANG with slightly worse perks and WLB.
For two sigma in data center space , what would be the comp for New York ?

How much would betterment pay
I'd be surprised if we offered much less than 400k for someone with that much experience. Pay is very performance-based, though. In your first year or two that could easily go up several hundred thousand if you do well.
What about 700? How typical is that for people coming from FB, google, etc
I would be a bit surprised to see an offer that high, but I don't have a lot of data points around that. I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see someone actually get paid that much, though. We tend to give offers on the low end of what we normally pay and then bump it up where it belongs at bonus time when we have a better idea of performance.
For two sigma it’s not whole lot:300-400. I’ve heard numbers twice as much for JS, but no personal experience with them.
