Google to HRT/JS seems common but has anyone seen the reverse? Not finding any cases on LinkedIn.
Money is too good, why would they leave
For chiller WLB and lower performance bar = less effort while still collecting a decent check. If you already have $2-5M and you don’t have any more material wants, why would you grind hard for more when you can take your foot off the gas and just collect a smaller salary?
Then they can go to a smaller / lower-tier HFT, chill, and collect money. The key is that their HFT C++ experience alone is worth almost a million, why would the spend time grinding leetcode for a 500k paycheck at tech companies
Yep all the researchers on my team (myself included) all came from QR.
Moving to tech to spend during NC period or wanted to do something differently/more meaningful?
Myself and a colleague came from citadel because of the super long NC. But the rest are Jane Street , so no NC. They just came for WLB after having kids
I think you're more likely to see HFT to startups. If you don't need the cash flow, might as well work on something interesting and fun
