Just seen two (not close) friends left HRT after around 1 year and 3 months. They are both Senior SWE. What happened at HRT? Do they have layoffs or just wlb is just crazy and they can’t stand?
Your friends got pipped
Probably just got paid out their bonuses and got fired or they hated the job and quit.
People quit from there all the time. Why do you twenty somethings think there exists some perfect magical employer?
Lack of direction from upper management, shitty managers, not that great infra, high pressure env. It looks like a rainbow from outside but it’s prop trading shop at the end of the day. Cause an incident and you will see the real face of people at all levels. great things are the pay, great offices, visiting other offices and offsite.
> not that great infra Most of us in the industry seem to assume that your infra and execution tech is probably among the best. Surprised to read that.
This. Looks amazing from the outside but it’s really not that great
I’m thinking to spend time for LC to apply HRT but then suddenly saw these two people leaving HRT (not at the same time but close) which has raised me some concerns. Surely HRT paying much better than what I receive at JPM but not sure if it’s worth to LC. To people at #HRT, do you think it’s worth to do so and do you learn much/your skills have been improved much after joining HRT?
Just apply. It’s a purely hypothetical question unless you get an offer.
Applying without preparation is not much different than gambling. And preparation will take time.
I love it here, personally
Maybe they are prepared to retire
