Lack of diversity in engineering division at X
This list is loosely based on desirability, TC, WLB, headcount, and interview difficulty: Facebook (Meta) = Jump Trading Amazon = Citadel & Citadel Securities Apple = Two Sigma Netflix = Hudson River Trading Google = Jane Street Microsoft = DE Shaw Some exceptional startup that makes all of its employees multimillionaires in an acquisition within 2 years of its founding = Rentech
Netflix now or 2 years ago ?
Doesn’t really matter since Netflix still pays all cash if the employees so chooses
This gives me “University of phoenix is Harvard of the west” vibes lol
Respectfully, this is a really idiotic post.
Sir, this is Blind
I’ve interviewed at most of FAANG and most of the finance firms in this list, and the interviews are mostly pretty similar in content and difficulty. Any difference in hiring exclusivity is mostly down to the resume screen. Obviously there’s no perfect mapping of these firms to FAANG but I thought it would be fun to try. Can you take a joke? You’re not that much better than a FAANG engineer, if at all.
Pear = Jump Trading Orange = Citadel Papaya = Two Sigma Blueberry = Hudson River Trading Kiwi = Jane Street Pomegranate = DE Shaw
Way off! Desco is definitely the papaya.
this is cringe
not only is this post cringe, but the mapping shows 0 knowledge of other firms Jump is completely siloed—they're the opposite of what I would consider FB's working culture, Two Sigma has nothing similar to Apple, etc etc
Yeah obviously there is no perfect mapping. So what mapping would you propose? This list is based on desirability above all else
The reactions to my post are confirming my suspicions that some of these firms are full of people who are so pretentious, entitled, and insecure that they’d abhor any comparison to FAANGM companies
Fb = Jump Amazon = Citadel Apple = DE Netflix = HRT Google = Jane St Microsoft = Two Sigma Imo
Why? I kind of agree except that I’d swap DE Shaw and Two Sigma in your list
Most of my friends at Two Sig site lackluster TC progression comparatively but good wlb
