im coming up on about year at Facebook (came in as a new grad) as a SWE primarily doing machine learning engineering. A guy i know at FB (also new grad about a year in FB) recently got recruited by jane street and took their offer. The all-in comp at jane street hes getting is around what would be fairly standard at FB after a new-grads first promotion (which usually comes after about a a year) but im becoming increasinly aware that places like Jane Street and HRT seem to be places you’ll get a big pay bump from FB (though the number i see on glassdoor would say otherwise?). Also interested working for smaller companies with high quality engineers. Does anyone have any advice to how to get on their radar/make a strong a candidate when coming from FB or big tech?
Keep in mind that the culture is vastly different in pure tech companies like Facebook and fintech compagnies where traders/quant are kings. Also be prepared to have most people around you be high flyers, only care about money and appearances. It’s a little bit exaggerated but there’s some truth. Source: my best friend works at JS
How much growth potential is there for SWEs at Jane Street? Both in salary, learning potential and future opportunities?
