Ordered based on various factors (compensation, engineering talent, WLB, prestige, etc). Tried to keep the companies in each tier ordered but if they are close together its fairly equal but something at start of T1 > end of T1. Let me know if you have any company to add.

Do we have a similar list for DE/ DS
What is DE/DS?
Data engineer / data scientist
How is Amazon ahead of Salesforce ? considering everything
Missed that - fixed.
Nice list! Don’t forget TC or GTFO

What does this even mean? Like Tier 0 are dream companies to work for?
Basically. Very high talent, insane pay, surprisingly good WLB. All those companies can pay 350k+ for new grads.
I could be wrong with DE - they do match/get close though. But the other ones do. Jane street is ~45 hours, the other 2 are similar to maybe 50 hours.
Looks about right
citadel (hedge fund) is not even near tier 1
Compensation is the only reason it is that high. Citadel will beat tier 0 companies in comp. ~400k for new grads. Fairly high eng talent, but yea pretty bad WLB.
Bro no way new hires getting 400k TC at Citadel. 3-5 years get like 300k
My virginity just grew back after reading this list
Details please ;)
This means nothing. Comparison is the thief of joy
At one point it does give some people goal to chase and prestige to fill up their otherwise empty lives. I would say its okay unless someone really kill themselves for not getting into "Tier 1"
Which companies among these allow internal transfer from US to India. Preferably not more than 1 or 2 rounds of interview for internal transfer. Even better if no interview.
