This changes every year so in this current market, I’m thinking cash is king and HFT’s dominate rn. I’m not going to consider the super small prop trading firms because quite frankly they only take geniuses and I know my own limits. Are Jane Street/HRT/CitSec/Jump still the kings in terms of TC and comp progression? I don’t care about wlb, I’m at a company that has me working 60+ hours anyway and I have an insane work ethic. I just want to make as many greenbacks as possible and need to know which places to target. Snap and Amazon are both up there but amazon has backloaded vesting and I job hop every year, and Snap stock is in the shitter even if they are paying 300/400k for ppl with 2 YOE. Startups are too risky and crypto firms are dead. Thoughts??
PE (1-3 mil cash) and Mckinsey at partner level (1 mil cash )
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I meant in tech/quant industry. Also I think both PE and McKinsey to get to that level takes at least a decade if I’m not mistaken
Yeah at McK most people will burn out exit quite before reaching.
JS,hrt,citsec pay 0 yoe 550k tc
I wish there was more info about which one has the best progression. I’ve heard CitSec is the best if you are performing very high as an individual but could be a bit more stressful than the other 2
Citsec likely yes. Safety wise, probably js

Don’t care about getting green card anymore!!
It’s still all HFT/Quant/Trading firms. Tech doesn’t even come close in terms of TC. You forgot Two Sigma as well.
Two Sigma did not match my Uber offer
Yeah two sigma has great wlb, stability, interesting work but unfortunately they lag a bit TC-wise.
