Is two sigma comp on levels accurate? Seems a bit low compared to other quant firms. Kinda surprised
Yes we have FANG-ish leveling and comp. Good WLB though.
TC and YOE?
It's on levels.fyi
Levels is accurate. A lot of TC chasers have left
Haven't been in Two Sigma for long time but I'd assume it's accurate. In some other trading firms you get some variance depending on teams/projects/negotiations, but Two Sigma is very much like FAANG in that they have a very clear level system and standardized pay for each level. You're basically working at a FAANG but instead of building consumer facing products you're trading or supporting trading. Personally, I don't see any meaningful difference between my time at F now and my time at TS in the past.
None of the comps for quant firms on levels are accurate (in terms of what you can expect) - too much variance
TS has enough data and low variance
