My brother has offers from both twosigma(NYC) and Microsoft (Seattle). Two sigma’s TC is 400K while Microsoft’s is 300K. He is currently in seattle hence confused on choices. Any pointers from pioneers on evaluation can really help. Any twosigma folks please pm me
They’re about the same considering COL.
How is 2Sigmas comp broke down? Is it a big finance bonus? How is it guaranteed? It's a tough call. If he has a family I would say Seattle
two sigma gives guaranteed stock for a particular year which is approx same as his base.. For next year, they said guaranteed bonus is always increased
Level for microsoft is 65 and level 4 in Twosigma and yoe is 11.5 years
Do you know what are all the levels at 2S and how they map to MS or Google?
My friend worked for 2s for two years and didn’t like the job so they quit voluntarily. But the 18 months non compete means that they have to stay out of any quant fund for their next job. My friend came to SV and started all over agin in tech.
Two Sigma , no doubt. Awesome company to work for
Considering both state income tax and COL, they’re probably equivalent. The difference will be in how the stock will do, which no-one knows, and the interest of the job. Also, weather.
TS is a better company but not sure if it's worth moving if he likes Seattle
Two Sigma.
What’s 2S like for software engineers?
Yoe and levels please
