Got a SWE offer from Two Sigma including a “guaranteed bonus for the first year.” Anyone know what the bonus structure for SWE is past the first year? Is it based on formula or manager discretion? Offer: 170 + 100
You definitely make more at FB. Don't waste your time at TS unless you get a quant position
thanks. have you been at TS before? I’ve heard from some people that they have similar comp progression to FB/G but haven’t seen real data points
BF at TS before. Several friends work there now. TS is a finance company after all. They try to brand themselves as a tech company but they have a long way to go. Things move very slowly.
They didn't offer you stock buy back?
not sure what stock buyback means, 2s doesn’t provide equity. If you mean compensating for unvested RSUs from my current co, yes a signing bonus was mentioned. i don’t consider that as part of TC
How hard was to get a SWE offer there?
easier than all FANG interviews
Comp pretty much always goes up for SWE’s. My impression is Two Sigma rewards tenure, so you can stay there a long time without job hopping and have comp keep going up year over year without job hopping.
Does Sigma fire fast like FB and Amazon?
I am also interviewing 2s. Is it easier than Facebook? Do they ask Leetcode and design questions or General CS fundamentals like OS, Programming languages and networking?

Yoe? I’d have thought you’d make more at Facebook.
