Finance firms in NYC
I recently started job search and am targeting on west coast tech firms. But I got many inquiries from East coast financial firms. From glass door, the TC of finance firms (usually capped around 200k for senior developers, but in cash) are not comparable with FAANG. Are developer roles' TC in finance firms really competitive as FAANG? Are there sweet spots? How to make the most out of finance firm? Becoming a Quant? Studying financial modeling?

front office role: quant at hedge fund, or developer at HFT
