Optiver and TwoSig in low tier?
I had Two Sigma on there twice. My bad. Do you think Optiver is higher tier?
I've always got the impression Optiver is highly respected. I don't see Stevens Capital on here
Here: https://www.google.com/search?q=quant%20reddit%20tier%20list&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1-m Just look at r/quant, some of the comments on similar posts there, and you’ll realize why what you’re doing is largely an exercise in futility.
Mostly my goal is to compile a big list. I don't care too much about ranking which is why I only made two buckets.
But at that point might as well just create one big cluster and call it a night. Anyway, probably much easier to do “Open To Work” on LinkedIn, let recruiters hit you up, say you’re not looking to go to a big shop, and see what they have.
Now make a list of tech firms
SquarePoint is lower lower tier
Second this. Unethical French shop that is openly racist towards everyone else.
A lot of these depend on role, e.g. some shops pay quants well but don’t respect SWEs, some pay back office SWE close to front office and others don’t, etc Also depends on your metrics for tiers - some pay well but have shitty culture and WLB, or vice versa.
"Ramp" lol this list is so unserious
Should I take it off the list entirely? I don't know enough about every firm. I was just trying to compile a decently comprehensive list.
It’s not a trading firm lol
I’d create a mid tier. In terms of size and tech they are very different. Like Wolverine and DV do almost the same thing but in different levels of tech and volume. Also don’t forget about Eagle Seven and Transmarket Group
I'm not going to add any more tiers. This isn't a tier list it's just a general list of trading firms.
Us :D - Direct competitor of Citadel
How is the pay at Millennium?

Lack of diversity in engineering division at X
I find it interesting that you put Akuna and Point72 in the same tier. You need more tiers.
I tried to keep it simple
This is some serious underfitting. You can do better in terms of bias-variance trade-off here.
