Received new grad swe offers from both Citadel Securities: Comp: 175/100/100 Location: NYC Two Sigma: Comp: 170/85/65 Location: NYC Both offers are before negotiations. Leaning towards 2s due to the supposedly better wlb & eng culture and clearer career growth path (leveling system), but CitSec seems to have better TC upside. Wondering what you guys think. Thoughts? #twosigma #citadel #citadelsecurities #citadeloffer #twosigmacareers
Both can be negotiated up - use citadel offer to negotiate 2s up, then use new 2s offer to get the infamous 200/125/150 new grad offer at citadel. 2s promotions are pretty slow, if you care about comp growth a lot, I think citsec may be better.
Congratulations. I think there isn't much upside left in joining TS vs. a regular tech company. Growth here is very slow. Def interview with JS and HRT if you haven't and negotiate these offers.
You should change your name to 3Σ
You like the leveling system? Be prepared for promotion packet purgatory. So much friction just to get through low levels. WLB and culture will be much better at TS though.
Hey OP. Can I ask where you interned this past summer?
I would suggest citsec for much higher comp down the road Also, signing can be 150 p easily I believe
Citadel has the better reputation and upside. As a new grad, pick a place where you can work hard and boost your career, not one where you will stagnate.
Congratulations!! I would pick TS due to the wlb. I'm interviewing for TS. Had my first recruiter call recently. Can I DM you about prep advice?
