The end of Backdoor Roth?!
Been applying to trading firms (citadel, Jane street, hrt etc) for a while since the layoff news and haven’t received a single callback. What gives? Do these places just not accept new grads? YOE Just under a year TC 260 Latest rating GE
Are you from a target school? Build cpp experience
Lot of places are currently under hiring freeze for different orgs including Citadel. Happens around this time of year bc of bonuses
Most companies are on hiring freeze, which is influenced by wall street that is driven by global events. Short answer Job Market is brutal, so wait.
We are explicitly instructed by HR to raise the bar for FAANG applications due to waves of layoffs. Not kidding. As of Jan23, a dev with similar skillset from a startup has a higher chance to pass initial stages than a current or ex (especially laid off) FAANG SWE. Re: New? We are not in a hiring freeze.
Hi @Citadel, this is an interesting information! Do you only raise bars for FAANG that had layoffs recently? I’m interested in interviewing with citadel but wondering if now is a good time to do it. I’m with Airbnb now. Appreciate your response!
Mostly FAANG. Airbnb is fine.
I applied online
Do you have any insight into UI/UX design roles? Can I DM you?
No insight
they apply first
Those firms run lean but generate huge revenue. That’s the reason they pay the way they do. If you are applying for senior roles with one year of experience it’s likely that’s the reason. They don’t operate the way big tech companies do. Where they have tons of training and early career groups. They hire some but not close to the same quantity, to find a trading firm with over 3,000 employees is rare. I’m not even sure any of the ones you mentioned even have half that number.
What’s your gpa? I have a suspicion that might be blocking me from getting past the initial screener (1 yoe)
3.6
Better than mine, but the friends I know who work at cit sec both had 3.8+ idk if that makes a difference
