Hudson River is a dirty place. They couldn’t have come up with a better name? I’d not work there just because of their name

They give 400-500K USD to 22 year old new grads. Next time keep your mouth shut

For doing what? What part of that is the base, and what part is the variable bonus (individual perf + market perf)

I had a pleasant (1/2) interview process but ultimately they wanted me to relocate and I didn't want to so we stopped. From my research, it's one of the better trading firms and it sounded like they have a more tech first approach during my conversations. The WLB seemed to be, the harder you work, the higher your bonus. It didn't seem like a total grind.

I see, thank you!

I cannot answer for Hudson personally, but typically hedge funds / trading firms / prop shops have bad WLB. I personally find myself working on average of 60 hours per week. And it is not because the team is bad, but rather the business / top management have no idea of the complexity of the things that we are doing. I get into shouting matches with project managers coz they commit on deliveries with businesses/ traders without consulting IT first.

Thanks for the insight! Yeah I’ve heard similar things about trading firms but I see many Glassdoor reviews saying HRT is different.

Glassdoor says HRT is outlier and offers nice WLB ?

Just curious what role you applied and do you have c++ background? Am interested in applying as well but not sure if my lack of c++ will put me at disadvantage

Meta qqll OP Feb 20, 2022

Algo software engineer. Yes my entire career has been in C/C++. Their job description seems to say they consider candidates without cpp experience as well, so you might as well try?

There is c++ role in sg meta?
