I got an offer from Hudson River Trading for software engineer. TC: 700 Current TC: 650 before crash, 350 after crash On Coinbase: I love what I do. My team is great despite the recent turmoil. Slowly but surely though, the chaos is getting me. On HRT: I’ve asked around about HRT, the firms sounds amazing: engineer driven, super smart people, stellar pay, etc. To be honest, HRT sounds almost too good to be true. Anyone has experience jumping from Tech to Traditional Finance? How did go? Is career progression really that much worse? Do you love the decision to jump? Do you hate it? My DM is open too. Let me know. I’m really just a confused soul looking for a therapist on Blind. YOE: 6
Offer breakdown?
Couple of questions: 1) do you have to move to New York for HRT? Do they allow full remote? 2) will you be coding in c++?
Yes I will move. Actually happy about that. Late 20s single male Also yes, C++ and Python
TBH moving out of crypto into traditional finance is probably a good move long term. Weird shit goes down in finance for sure but it’s already regulated so there’s no risk of your shit getting gray-market status overnight.
HRT without a doubt. You will never have to worry about TC.
HRT cash is king the next year or two if you can invest it (equities + real estate)
DM me. I’m about to interview with HRT!
How are your interviews going?
Waiting for scheduling 🤷🏻♂️
I came from a recently ipo fintech to. Loving every minute of it so far. Considerably better perks and its just a tighter group of people given the smaller size. Flat and no levels, which I consider a bonus not a problem.
TC?
So who do you report to? Are there EM roles there?
How come HRT target compensation is only 50k more than coinbase?
The recruiter I’m working with mentioned more like 200-250k more than mine
Which is how much? And does it include signing? Yoe?
Congrats! Amazing!

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
I thought Coinbase does yearly grants so you should always stay at 650?
His target TC is probably $350k but it was $650k last year due to stock appreciation. Or something.
Makes sense
