DeShaw offer India

Recently got confirmation from HR that I have passed the interviews and will be getting an offer for Project Lead by next week. Wanted to know how much can I ask for? Will they will be able to cross 1.2 cr? Current TC - 81 (45+6+30) Yoe - 8 UPDATE: Got the offer: Base: 60, Bonus: 30-35, Jb:10 Seems to be a lowball offer, overall disappointed with the offered TC of 90-95 (excluding JB one time)

I don’t think so - 1.2 cr is too high for DE Shaw I think. But if I am proven wrong, please let me know.

Microsoft bmjakbha OP Oct 16, 2022

How much can they max out?

HighRadius #*# Oct 16, 2022

I think 1.1 but again no harm in asking for 1.2. Would like to get proven wrong. Best of luck.

They once offered a friend of mine(3 YOE) a counter offer of 1cr( he went for Uber, who offered 75LPA), so yeah, they can go really high.

HighRadius #*# Oct 16, 2022

Wow! Was it all cash?

Google stubchubz Oct 16, 2022

I don't know, I think de Shaw is all cash being an HFT

GitHub old_hubber Oct 16, 2022

De shaw can offer around 1.2 definitely, have heard of people getting 55-60LPA last year itself for Sde2 before the TC boom, 1.2 should be doable for lead role

Microsoft 🍌’ville Oct 16, 2022

No, unlike tech companies HFT haven’t had a boom.

Microsoft bmjakbha OP Oct 16, 2022

Github, do you know how much they can max out at?

Google dCrane Oct 16, 2022

Whats your level at msft mate? I know for Sr Software type levels they can offer 60+20-30 as offer. 1cr seems possible but idk if 1.2 is.

Microsoft bmjakbha OP Oct 16, 2022

It’s 62, might get promoted in next quarter which will boost my current TC to may be ~90.

Google dCrane Oct 16, 2022

Thats some really sweet stocks for 62.

Check this out. Some HFTs are even paying 1.2 to freshers. No harm in asking. If they have a budget constraints, they will tell. https://livingtheiitdream.com/top-high-frequency-trading-firms-hfts-in-india/

Thanks for the info, do you know max for Project lead at De Shaw?

Tower Research Capital .........j Oct 16, 2022

No idea. Trading firms have lesser number of employees and confidentiality as part of contract. So hard to get a figure for the role, let alone max. Also depends if it is a front office role(related to live processes in which case it can have direct impact on PnL) or backoffice (non critical processes).

Microsoft bmjakbha OP Oct 17, 2022

Amazon gevS02 Oct 26, 2022

Any update?

Microsoft bmjakbha OP Oct 26, 2022

I have updated the numbers

GitHub old_hubber Oct 27, 2022

Lowball for senior level, Don’t settle for less than 1.2 Cr, you can easily get that for senior levels in many companies
