Hello everyone, What's a reasonable TC for a L4 SWE-SRE at Google with 3 YoE targeting to get into HFTs. Location : New York City Thank you in advance for your valuable insights. TC: 250k #hfts #interview #tc
People usually want relevant experience - dealing with low latency stuff. Plus financial experience is good to have - knowing the relevant financial information, what are you actually trading and why, being able to talk to traders and understand what they are trying to do, etc. I think some of the higher level comps come from that side, not just pure software engineering.

How much budget do you allocate or end up spending on for lifestyle annually?
For HFT will heavily depend on your firm and role, I think 3 YoE could expect anywhere from 300-600k
I would've said 250-500, so roughly checks out.
Thanks for the input. Seems like I've got biased by the hearing news of new grads making 500K in HFTs/hedge funds. In my job hunt, I was planning to target anything north of 500k. Are those numbers outliers/just for the traders?
