Holy moly these job offers. Meta stock price. What’s happening. Aaaahhhh!!!
Cash + bonus break up? What’s the sign on? Odds are you won’t see that bonus component. Source: Ex-HFT. Devs get treated like dog shit while traders are treated like Greek gods. Software engineering standards are also sent down the toilet.
Depends on the firm. HRT, Radix, Headlands are mostly run by QR’s and SWE, they have zero to very small amounts of traders. Even at some trader centric firms like Jane Street, SWE’s are treated very well.
Clearly I was at a shit firm.
Which company?
If you have to work only 3-4 days in your current job and also getting a good salary, you should use the rest on the time to start your own company
Are you not bored? Take the HFT offer. Worst case you last 6 months, make as much as you make at GitHub, then get paid for garden leave.
If only 3 or 4 days of work per month at your current job then take the offer and work both jobs.
3 to 4 days. MONTH? lmfao. Just do both jobs
Yo lmao this gotta be a troll. 3-4 days a month 😭
Troll lol or you mean 3-4 days a week
