Hey all, been living on the west coast all my life. Tired of the high prices and would love to actually have a chance to have a big house. Who are the big players out in the Midwest and what can I do to maximize TC and minimize expenses. I hear Fintech in Chicago is pretty spicy, but it would be nice to have some actual numbers. I consider myself a strong C++ engineer, so HFT is interesting to me.

You’ll probably see something along the lines of 150-175 base, rest bonus, and a large signing bonus.
Life balance in West Coast is horrendous. I just moved from Sacramento area
But, to answer your question, 180k is certainly possible in places like Chicago and potentially KC & St Louis. There are also more and more companies that are hiring remotely where you can get that kind of money and live wherever you want.
