#imc #drw #facebook #newgrad Asking for a friend. Deciding between software engineering at Facebook and quant trading at one of IMC / DRW (new grad). Is the worse wlb + long term tc upside at these trading firms worth it over better wlb + stable tc at FB? Friend is looking to live a relaxed life in general. 1st year tc: FB ~230k IMC/DRW: ~300k
Top traders at these firms could easily make over 1M at 3+ YOE. Personally I think it's worth it when you're in your 20s but it's definitely not gonna be a relaxed life.
What about at HRT though? Like can it be a “relaxed life”.
Must be IMC unless DRW kicked their offers up a notch
Nvm didn’t realize it was for trading. Take the trading job 100%.
Some desks are offering good bit over 300k first year TC now
