New grad swe offers from both, interned at both. Can’t reveal HFT firm. Offer 1 - HFT Location: Chicago TC: ~350k USD (including 100k sign on and estimated performance bonus) Offer 2 - Google Location: Canada Base: 109k CAD Stock: 130k USD 38/32/20/10 Sign on: 50k CAD (Plus 15% target bonus) First year TC: 240k CAD (175k USD) HFT offer is obviously significantly higher and in a comparable COL with lower taxes. That being said I would likely work ~20% less hours at Google and would get to stay in Canada which is a large factor for me. Also not a huge fan of Chicago. Thoughts on these offers, which one to take, or anything else I should consider?
HFT and please don’t even think about it.
Join google over a mediocre hft. Quant winter is coming
damn I guess you better leave HRT then
This seems like a Shitadel offer I’d take that over any goog new grad offer
Since when does Google new grad in Waterloo make 240K CAD? That's way higher than levels shows, anyone know what a recent L5 Canada comp is?
If you can put up with the pressure go for HFT till you are 30 then get the fuck out and do something else. Thing is if you want to have a good life you want to make as much money as early as possible before life hits you. If you cut the cord from hustling at 28-30 you will still have time to enjoy yourself and the money to do it.
FWIW I moved from meta to a hft firm at 29 and I find it much more chill here. Hours worked is similar but I’m much less stressed and the culture is more fun.
What level / comp did you move at? Always been curious about making that transition

'Hindutva': The Radical Hindu Ideology That Seeks to 'Push Christianity Out of India’
What’s wrong with chiraq? If you’re in Canada it’s already cold so weather isn’t a factor and it’s a world class city.
