That depends on whether or not you're Chinese.

Have you worked there personally? What was your experience like?

Are there promotions at those fin techs? Doesnโ€™t TC just increase without actual promos?

Two Sigma eFlvUK Sep 29, 2018

TC increases without promo, but getting promoted typically gets you a bigger increase

@eFlvUK what are the levels at 2 sigma? Do they use L3, L4, L5, etc, like google, Pinterest, Airbnb, lyft, etc, do?

If you are trying to switch to the financial sector it maybe a good segue, otherwise itโ€™s no good as youโ€™ll be a second class citizen in the financial sector as a swe. In tech, swes are king!

I've worked at Two Sigma and a FANG. can confirm this is not true. We are mostly SWE at two Sigma

Two sigma may be an exception then. Have you tried going back from two sigma to tech though? I suspect the transition is much smoother in one direction than in the other.

What's the TC like? Is it comparable/better than FAANG?

Two Sigma $! Sep 21, 2018

For me it was much, much better. I was at a FANG before.
