Hi DE Shaw/Citadel/Two Sigma folks, Is this true that fresh PhDs get paid > $500K at your companies? Can you share your experience?
Had a friend who got 450 from Citadel right out of Harvard math undergrad doing quant. Even the highest TC couldn’t convince him to stay for more than a year.
There are plenty of jobs out there too miserable for words. I worked in finance, at a hedge fund, and Amazon is vastly more fun and pleasant, even on a bad day. I would happily go to any FAANG or a high quality Bay Area startup for the right offer but it would take triple my current (very high) comp to get me to do another stint in any hedge fund.
:doubt
I know that one of our senior linux engineers is making close to 1.5mill a year at this point. He’s worth it though. Dude has been around shaw for a while now and literally could re-build the entire infrastructure single handedly at this point.
Is de shaw good for pure devs? What’s the tc/yoe ranges like?
Surprised Arcesium has that kind of cash.
