Hi all I am cureently giving interviews in NYC area at different hedge funds and asset management companies. I have 15 years of technology experience and good understandin of fixed income markets. I primarily working as supporting and developing applications for traders and portfolio managers; IT side. I am open to full time as well as consulting gigs. My current comp is 200k. How much should I expect as full time salary (total comp) or as daily rate as consulting. I am closing in on 2 opprtunities. Thanks in advance.
Everyone on blind talks about the top 4 hedge funds, but a word of warning there are thousands of hedge funds and they don't all pay great
Which one will you consider top 4 ?
Jane Street, Two Sigma, Citadel and the likes
Hedge funds can pay way more than your current TC. Given that, consulting gigs don’t make much sense as the hourly rate does not scale much
How much more I can expect ? I did not get when you say that “hourly rate” does not scale.
Hourly rates get capped usually at 100-150 generally. Hedge fund pay can get to 300-400++ easily
